Embracing Enterprise Risk Management System – By Stephen Oinga

SRC embarked on digital transformation aimed at enhancing service delivery. SRC representatives from the ICT and Internal Audit departments held a meeting with a systems development firm specialising in Enterprise Risk Management Systems (ERMS) with a view to integrating ERMS into SRC operations.

Embracing ERMS represents a strategic shift for SRC, focusing on comprehensive risk management from a top-down perspective. This will enable SRC to identify, assess, and prepare for various potential threats and hazards that could disrupt operations or hinder the achievement of its strategic objectives.

SRC’s decision to implement ERMS underlines the potential benefits of an effective enterprise risk management strategy. Proper integration of ERMS is expected to yield substantial cost savings for SRC and enhance control over future outcomes. By adopting a proactive rather than reactive stance, SRC aims to minimise both the likelihood and impact of risks.

Additionally, the ERMS will facilitate the integration of both insurable and non-insurable risks, providing SRC with an actionable 360-degree view of its risk profile. This inclusive approach to risk management is anticipated to significantly bolster SRC’s capability to manage and mitigate risks effectively.
