Individual Assignment 2
ERM- Integrating with Strategy & Performance for your Selected Company
Background Overview: During the development of ERM- Integrating with Strategy &
Performance, the PWC Project Team received requests for publication to include examples of
the Framework in use. The publication (provided in Canvas -> Assignments -> Assignment #2)
called, “COSO Compendium of Examples” responds to that request, providing illustrations of
how organizations of different types and sizes and in different industries and geographies might
choose to apply these principles.
These examples are standalone business practices/ cases where some ERM components and
principles are illustrated in each case. The examples are not meant to provide “how-to”
instructions or illustrate best practices but are meant to be examples to show how principles
can be applied, with each focusing on aspects of different components covered in ERMIntegrating
with Strategy & Performance”. The cases are covered in 9 chapters across:
● Introduction (Ch 1)
● Local: Financial Services Company (Chapter 4); Consumer Products Company (Chapter 7)
● National: Government Entity (Ch 3), Energy Company (Ch 7), Technology Company (Ch
8), Healthcare Company (Ch 10)
● International: Higher Education Institution (Ch 2), Not-for-profit Entity (Ch 6), Industrial
products company (Ch 9)
●
