ERM Structure

ERM is composed of seven elements namely: corporate governance, internal control, implementation, risk
management framework, risk management policy, risk management process and sources of risk.

1. Corporate governance (board oversight) - Corporate governance is the framework of rules and practices by
which a board of directors ensures accountability, fairness and transparency in a company's relationship with
all its stakeholders (financiers, customers, management, employees, government and the community). The
corporate governance framework consists of:

responsibilities, rights, and rewards;

 Procedures for proper supervision, control and information flows to serve as a system of checks and
balances.
