In an age of increasing risk complexity, institutions face risk in every part of their operations, including the risk of not identifying opportunities. Developing a strategic ERM program to proactively identify, categorize and prioritize the myriad risks and opportunities across the enterprise – without the support of specialists – takes a substantial investment of time and resources.

Leveraging our team’s deep knowledge and experience in implementing ERM solutions across the higher education and other industries, colleges and universities rely on us to identify, prioritize and mitigate risk and seize opportunities.

Baker Tilly’s ERM professionals offer value at the intersection of strategy, risk and compliance.

You can count on our objective, customized and tailored methodologies grounded in leading practices to help connect seemingly disparate risks and opportunities in strategy, finance, operations, technology and compliance.

As a result, your institution will be better positioned to reduce the chance of loss, create value for stakeholders, maintain financial stability and drive innovation.
