Enterprise Risk Management

One component of FDU’s compliance activities is its Enterprise Risk Management initiative.  The focus is not simply on risk elimination or mitigation – or on regulatory compliance — but on helping the organization achieve its mission, strategic plan, and goals.  For more information about FDU’s ERM initiative, please see:
