Since the Office of the Inspector General's previous review of TVA's risk program in 2003, TVA has enhanced its Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) capabilities in the following areas: risk identification and assessment; management tone; strategic decision-making support; commitment to ERM staffing; and promotion of an ERM culture. The areas in need of improvement include: linking risks and objectives to effectively identify and prioritize risks, focus discussions, and allocate resources; clearer mapping of likelihood and severity with associated risk; measurement of inherent risk to identify critical risks with a higher need for monitoring; role of the Board and executive management in defining risk tolerance which is policy driven; a formal, comprehensive risk policy approved by the Council and Board; and increased reporting and discussions of ERM with the Board. We recommended TVA address the areas needing improvement. Management generally agreed and is taking or plans to take appropriate action.
