1. The biggest risk my company faces is financial risk
2. My company is safe because we review risks and
   prioritize mitigation efforts annually

   3 enterprise risk management (ERM) systems
4. We are well protected because we have a strong
   quantitative model to measure risk

   account for likelihood and impact
