A system for tracking compliance to risk management policies for a given
enterprise that provides risk status feedback on hierarchical managerial
levels. The system notifies users of potential problems with
non-compliance of enterprise policies set on a high level of enterprise
management, and prompts the users to take steps to achieve compliance.
The enterprise policies are designed to protect the enterprise from
various forms of risk associated with enterprise activities. Accordingly,
minimizing risk across enterprise operations, subdivisions, projects and
applications produces an overall benefit of reduced liability or exposure
to liability for the entire enterprise. A compliance status is provided
by business groups at all levels of the enterprise, and consolidated for
each management level to which the risk status is promoted. Higher level
managers can view summaries of risk management status for the business
divisions, and select particular statuses to view compliance among
various business groups under the manager's responsibility.
