It is vital to identify and prioritize significant risks and detect the weakest points. Adding other elements to an essential ERM program, such as PESTLE and Porter's Five Forces, treatment plans, scorecards, thethree lines of defense (3LoD) components, and process improvements(Six Sigma, 8D, etc.) significantly increases the ERM success rate. The authors outline a comprehensive strategy for designing and implementing a robust and successful ERM program--that is not just successful in implementation but also in yielding enormous returns for the organizations that implemented this enhanced ERM program.

"Financial Enterprise Risk Management provides all the tools needed to build and maintain a comprehensive ERM framework. As well as outlining the construction of such frameworks, it discusses the internal and external contexts within which risk management must be carried out. It also covers a range of qualitative and quantitative techniques that can be used to identify, model and measure risks, and describes a range of risk mitigation strategies. Over 100 diagrams are used to help describe the range of approaches available, and risk management issues are further highlighted by various case studies. A number of proprietary, advisory and mandatory risk management frameworks are also discussed, including Solvency II, Basel III and ISO 31000:2009.
