Abstract
This study is based on the importance of enterprise risk management systems in the organization. Enterprise risk management is a tool that helps organizations to identify those areas which possess potential risks and on how to mitigate those risks. The objective of this paper is to investigate the importance of the ERM system to the firms’ achievement of financial and economic goals. The study focused on four independent variables which are controlling risk, the role of the board of directors, the role of the management, and the size of the organization while the dependent variable is the performance of the firm. Using the quantitative approach, data were collected from 3 organizations namely KPMG Taseer Hadi, Deloitte Pakistan, and a bank known as Islamic Bank, the Bank Islami Private Limited. Purposive sampling was employed to take a 100-sample size from different departments. Key outcomes revealed that the controlling risk, the role of the board of directors, and the size of the organization significantly influenced the performance of the firms while there is no significant impact on the role of management on the firm’s performance. Based on these findings, it is highly recommended to implement the ERM system as it will help in achieving the long-term economic and financial goals of the corporation
