COSO Enterprise Risk Management — Integrating with Strategy and Performance: Compendium of Examples

The COSO publication Enterprise Risk Management—Integrating with Strategy and Performance sets out a relationship between an entity’s mission, vision, and core values; its strategic goals and directions; and the approaches used in carrying out its strategy. This complementary publication—the Compendium of Examples—provides examples to illustrate how an Organisation might apply principles from Enterprise Risk Management—Integrating with Strategy and Performance to its day-to-day practice. Each example highlights specific principles that are relevant to entities of different types and sizes in different industries.
