In doing so, ERM uses the firm’s risk appetite to determine which risks should be accepted and which should be mitigated or avoided. While there has been a considerable increase in practitioner attention on ERM in recent years, little academic research exists about ERM, and in particular about the consequences of ERM on firm performance. This is true even though the Conference Board has found that a large number of companies are now starting to use ERM as a strategic management tool (The Conference Board, July 2005). In addition, Standard and Poor’s has introduced enterprise risk management analysis into its global corporate credit rating process starting in the third quarter of 2008 (Standard and Poors, May 2008). This purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of ERM implementation, and to establish whether firms adopting ERM actually achi
