Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is critical for industry growth in today’s fast-paced and ever-changing risk landscape. When building your ERM program foundation, you need to answer questions like: Do we have robust board and management support? Do we understand and articulate our bank’s risk appetite and how that impacts our business units? How are we measuring and rating our risk impact, likelihood, and controls to mitigate our risk?

Communication is a core component of a resilient organization's risk management framework. However, risk communication involves more than just reporting information and populating dashboards, and we may be limiting our skillset. Storytelling is the ability to express ideas and convey messages to others, including stakeholders.

Your credit score is one of the most important factors in how much you‘ll pay for a mortgage, or even on whether you qualify for a mortgage at all. The reason your credit score, or your FICO score as it’s known in the financial industry, is so important is that mortgage lenders will use it to determine how much of a risk it is to lend to you, based on your history of paying your bills on time and other factors.
