Abstract:

A system for tracking compliance with policies related to management of risk for a given enterprise provides risk status feedback on a number of managerial levels. The system notifies users of potential problems with non-compliance of enterprise policies set on a high level of enterprise management, and prompts the users to take steps to achieve compliance. The enterprise policies are designed to protect the enterprise from various forms of risk associated with enterprise activities. Accordingly, minimizing risk across enterprise operations, subdivisions, projects and applications produces an overall benefit of reduced liability or exposure to liability for the entire enterprise. A compliance status is provided by business groups at all levels of the enterprise, and consolidated for each management level to which the risk status is promoted. Higher level managers can view summaries of risk management status for the business divisions, and select particular statuses to view the condition of compliance among various business groups for which the manager has responsibility.
