Enterprise Risk Management in Government

Lack of information, control and time are the root causes of the risks facing the government today. By gathering the right information, agencies can attain greater control – and more time – to diagnose issues and improve decision making. SAS approaches the problem by delivering risk management software and services to help you:

• Identify the risk factors and unique relationships by establishing a flexible, robust risk management environment.
• Gain a complete view of risk and calculate your risk exposures at multiple levels by running analytic scenarios.
• Deliver timely, interactive reports to management and regulators in a form that works best for them, with the ability to drill down through the data to learn more.
• Monitor risks with ongoing, automatic assessments that send early-warning alerts.

Risks are often interlinked. Understanding how these linkages affect your operation is important. By managing risk at the enterprise level, you can combine insights with information from other functions to facilitate true, risk-based performance management.

Built on the SAS Business Analytics Framework, SAS for Enterprise Risk Management integrates comprehensive data management, powerful predictive analytics and user-friendly, self-service reporting in an end-to-end solution with:
