Risk is the chance of something going wrong. The
Enterprise Risk Management Framework (ERMF) (PDF, 151KB) is a comprehensive approach to identifying, assessing and treating risk based on the department's risk appetite within the context of our risk environment. The ERMF is designed to support the achievement of the department's priorities as presented in the
Strategic Plan.
