该政策的目的是建立大学的企业风险管理(ERM)框架,目标是识别企业级风险, which if not mitigated would impact the achievement of strategic business objectives, and to define the responsibilities of the 风险咨询委员会(RAC), 副总统, and individuals in meeting and maintaining ERM standards.

金融风险 - The risk potential for losing money on an investment or having a negative business outcome.

Enterprise Risk Management Registry (ERM Risk Registry) - A database of ERM requirements that includes a description of the risk, 副总裁责任区, 负责办公室, 负责职位编号及职衔, 风险评级, 以及风险的状态.

管治及文化风险 - The risk created when there is misalignment between an organization's values and leader actions, 员工的行为, 或者组织系统.
