This session will begin with an introduction to Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). ERM was introduced after the failure of large corporations such as ENRON and WorldCom. Traditional risk management is concerned with an organization’s pure risk, primarily hazards. ERM was developed to manage all of an organization’s risks, including operational, financial, and strategic. Procurement, either public or private, plays a major role in managing these risks.

Surety bonds play a crucial role in government procurement by mitigating the risks associated with contracting projects, ensuring accountability, and protecting taxpayer funds. They provide a level of assurance to the government that projects will be completed as agreed upon and that all parties involved will be fairly compensated. Surety bonds are a type of financial guarantee that ensures contractual obligations are fulfilled. In government procurement, surety bonds serve as a form of protection for the government and taxpayers against financial loss due to contractor default or failure to meet contractual obligations.
