Assigned Discussions:

1. Using the Ernst &Young Risk Management Checklist and the "Implementing Enterprise Risk Management" article provided by the instructor, prepare a checklist to evaluate a company's enterprise risk management program. Then, using the Form 10K report, proxy statement, and governance information (from company website), prepare a critical assessment of the company's risk management program. This assessment should clearly identify the program's strengths and weaknesses.

2. Using Altman's Z, estimate the bankruptcy potential for the selected company. Use the instructor's Excel model or develop you own Excel model for this analysis.

3. What are the most important things that you learned from the study of this week's readings and assignments? Remember to always include appropriate references.
