COSO Enterprise Risk Management (PDF)

Praise for COSO Enterprise Risk Management

"COSO ERM is a thoughtful introduction to the challenges of risk
management at the enterprise level and contains a wealth of
information on dealing with it through the use of the COSO
framework. Detailed procedures covering a wide variety of
situations are followed by a thorough explanation of how each is
deployed. As a project management professional, I appreciate how
the author addresses the need for risk management at a project
level. His background as someone who 'practices what they preach'
and realizes the impact of the Sarbanes-Oxley auditing rules comes
through clearly in the book, and it should be mandatory reading for
anyone seeking to understand how to tackle their own ERM
issues."

"This volume clearly and comprehensively outlines the usefulness
of COSO Enterprise Risk Management guidance. It should provide
considerable benefit to those having governance responsibilities in
this important area."

--Curtis Verschoor, L & Q Research Professor, School of
Accountancy and MISDePaul University, Chicago
