- Workshop: Enterprise Risk Management, Risk Driven Resource Allocation, and Engagement
Planning by Professor Glenn Sumners, CIA, CFE, CMA

Enterprise risk management (ERM) in business includes the methods and processes used by organizations
to manage risks and seize opportunities related to the achievement of their objectives. ERM provides a
framework for risk management, which typically involves identifying particular events or circumstances
relevant to the organization's objectives (risks and opportunities), assessing them in terms of likelihood
and magnitude of impact, determining a response strategy, and monitoring progress. By identifying and
proactively addressing risks and opportunities, business enterprises protect and create value for their
stakeholders, including owners, employees, customers, regulators, and society overall. ERM can also be
described as a risk-based approach to managing an enterprise, integrating concepts of internal control,
Sarbanes–Oxley Act, and strategic planning. ERM is evolving to address the needs of various stakeholders,
who want to understand the broad spectrum of risks facing complex organizations to ensure they are
appropriately managed. Regulators and debt rating agencies have increased their scrutiny on the risk
management processes of companies.


Corporate Governance is the set of processes, customs, policies, laws, and institutions affecting the way a
corporation (or a company) is directed, administered or controlled. Corporate governance also includes
the relationships among the many stakeholders involved and the goals for which the corporation is
governed. The principal stakeholders are the shareholders, the board of directors, employees, customers,
creditors, suppliers, and the community at large.
Corporate governance is a multi-faceted subject. An important theme of corporate governance is to
ensure the accountability of certain individuals in an organization through mechanisms that try to reduce
or eliminate the principal-agent problem. A related but separate thread of discussions focuses on the
impact of a corporate governance system in economic efficiency, with a strong emphasis on shareholders'
welfare. There are yet other aspects to the corporate governance subject, such as the stakeholder view
and the corporate governance models around the world.
There has been renewed interest in the corporate governance practices of modern corporations since
2001, particularly due to the high-profile collapses of a number of large U.S. firms such as Enron
Corporation and MCI Inc. (formerly WorldCom). In 2002, the U.S. federal government passed the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act, intending to restore public confidence in corporate governance.


International Financial Report Standards (IFRS) are a set of international accounting standards stating
how particular types of transactions and other events should be reported in financial statements. IFRS are
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
The goal with IFRS is to make international comparisons as easy as possible. This is difficult because, to a
large extent, each country has its own set of rules. For example, U.S. GAAP is different from Canadian
GAAP. Synchronizing accounting standards across the globe is an ongoing process in the international
accounting community.

Aaron Beam story reads like the "Great American Success Story": start a company from zero, raise some

himself in the middle of a corporate scandal, lost almost everything and ended up in prison. That's not the
way success stories are supposed to end, but for Beam, that was the harsh reality. Former Chief Financial

-Seminar: Recent Developments in Corporate Finance Research/Financing Decisions presented by
Professor Ji-Chai Lin

Recent Developments in Corporate Finance Research- Students will learn why the financial behavior of
corporations has changed greatly in the last ten years. Previously, most of the cash that stockholders
received from corporations took the form of dividends, and economists' models that have dividends as
the ultimate determinant of equity values were not far off the mark. This is all different now. There are
strong tax incentives for nondividend cash payments between corporations and shareholders. These
payments can take the form of a repurchase by the company of its own shares, or the acquisition of the
shares in another company. There has been tremendous growth in the magnitude of nondividend cash
payments. In the early 1970s these payments amounted to roughly 15 percent of dividends. By 1984, they
exceeded dividends, and in 1985 the amounted to $120 billion, or almost 50 percent more than total
dividends in the economy. However, dividends per unit equity have not fallen. Rather, the acquisition of
equity has allowed firms to retain relatively constant debt equity ratios in the past five years despite
strong equity markets. Firms have chosen to absorb equity and issue debt, roughly holding leverage
constant, and have thus saved large amounts of taxes.

seu agendamento para a entrevista e tenha acesso à informações gerais.
O pagamento dessa taxa pode ser feito através do website www.vistoeua.com.br ou do telefone (21) 4004-4950 da central de agendamentos

quando lhe entregou o novo), favor trazer para a entrevista agendada
uma fotocópia do passaporte anterior, se possível, (preferencialmente de
todas as páginas, ou pelo menos da página com o visto anterior). Sem
uma cópia do visto expirado, o processo de renovação pode levar mais
tempo. Pessoas renovando o visto por outro do mesmo tipo que ainda
esteja válido ou que tenha expirado há menos de 12 meses, poderão não
precisar de uma entrevista com o Oficial Consular, mas terão que fazer o
agendamento para a coleta eletrônica de informações biométricas

exemplo, para uma reunião de negócio em equipe) precisarão agendar as
entrevistas separadamente para cada pessoa. A taxa cobre o acesso às
