Abstract
The Risk Management Framework provides a structured and scalable approach to identifying, assessing, mitigating, and monitoring risks across all facets of Endaoment’s operations. As Endaoment grows and evolves, this framework ensures that our risk management practices remain robust and effective. Each specific risk type within our organization is paired with a dedicated policy document that outlines the procedures, controls, and strategies implemented to limit and manage that particular risk.
