At Grant Thornton Bharat, our Enterprise risk management solutions offer a structured, strategic approach to identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks, empowering your organisation to navigate volatility, safeguard performance, and drive sustainable growth.
What is enterprise risk management?
Enterprise risk management (ERM) is a holistic framework that helps organisations manage risks and opportunities in a proactive, integrated manner. Rather than treating risks in silos, ERM enables business leaders to consider the full spectrum of potential threats—from operational disruptions to financial uncertainties—and align mitigation efforts with strategic objectives.
ERM supports:
- Business continuity planning.
- Effective governance and compliance.
- Informed decision-making through risk-reward analysis.
- Organisational resilience in the face of uncertainty.
ERM in the Indian regulatory landscape
While enterprise risk management frameworks are not legally mandated in India, regulatory bodies increasingly expect robust risk oversight. Under the Companies Act, 2013, organisations are expected to identify and manage risks that could impact operations and stakeholders.
Further, the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015 require the board and audit committee to assess the adequacy and effectiveness of an organisation’s risk management policy, process, and systems, highlighting the growing emphasis on regulatory compliance in India.
