REVIEWED BY: ROGER S. BAILEY, GENERAL MANAGER
SUBJECT: RECEIVE SEMI-ANNUAL UPDATE ON STRATEGIC RISK INVENTORY/
ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT (ERM) PROGRAM
In January 2020, staff presented to the Board the District's initial Strategic Risk Inventory. At that time, it
was noted that the risk inventory would be used as the foundation for an Enterprise Risk Management
(ERM) Program. Since then, semi-annual updates have been provided on the status of these risks.
Background on Enterprise Risk Management
Organizations have traditionally managed risks in a distributed way, with a variety of internal functions that
identify and manage risks. Prior to ERM, these efforts were typically not centrally coordinated or reported
on. A central goal of ERM is to improve this capability and coordination, while providing summary level
reporting to provide a unified picture of risk for stakeholders, and improving an organization's ability to
manage these risks effectively. The Central San Strategic Risk Inventory is used for two purposes:
1. As an input to the Internal Auditor's annual work plan.
2. For monitoring, control, and reporting on risks. The ERM Team meets twice per year to
discuss progress on mitigating the risks identified in the Strategic Risk Inventory. Updates to the
Strategic Risk Inventory are reported to the Administration Committee and Board semi-annually.
The attached presentation constitutes the semi-annual update on the ERM Strategic Risk Inventory, and
highlights changes in risk rankings as well as new risks identified (if any). The presentation for this period
is relatively short, as there have been few changes in the assigned scores for the risks between the last
update and now.
This matter was last reviewed with the Finance Committee on March 22, 2022, covering the risk inventory
status for the second half of calendar year 2021.
