Enterprise Risk Management:
Getting from Theory to Practice
Bindesh Rach, Bombardier, Inc., Toronto
Misaligned jargon, functional silos, and competing frameworks
have added to the confusion encountered when discussing Enterprise
Risk Management (ERM). This presentation clarifies definitions for
the primary components of ERM. To get to the answers upon which
management can act, it is critical to get to the root cause of the
risks that the organization faces. We will see real examples of root
causes in the context of a multinational corporation and a
methodology to determine an organization’s root cause risks. This
presentation will present alignment of risk-centric communication
throughout all levels of an organization for ERM reporting and the
benefits of ERM to all internal stakeholders.
Bindesh Rach is the Director of Corporate Strategy, Mergers and
Acquisitions for Bombardier, Inc. Bindesh assumed his current position
at Bombardier Inc. in 2005, as Director, Corporate Strategy, Mergers and

Speed Interviewing
Sponsored by the Dallas
Chapter Academic Relations Committee
The Academic Relations Committee of the IIA is inviting students to
come and experience an opportunity of a lifetime. During the February
Post-Meeting students will have an opportunity to sell themselves, in
two minutes, to top level executives and recruiters in the Metroplex.
The format of the event will follow the pattern of "Speed Dating" to
ensure the session will be fun. This process provides students with the
opportunity to gain experience interviewing and communicating with upper
management in a relaxed atmosphere.
After students have the chance to "interview" with several different
interviewers, feedback will be provided in a general forum. Who knows...
this could lead to an internship or permanent position! Come ready to
market yourself!
Reference material regarding resume and interviewing will also be
provided.
