Deloitte has a robust process for identifying, assessing, managing, and monitoring risks and opportunities, both at the Deloitte Global level and at the member firm level through their respective Enterprise Risk Frameworks (ERFs).
The Deloitte Global ERF sets out the Deloitte Global Executive Committee's assessment of the priority risks and emerging risks facing the Deloitte network —specifically, those that could impact the ability of Deloitte to achieve its strategic priorities, meet its stakeholder obligations, and protect its reputation. The member firm ERFs are managed in coordination with the Deloitte Global ERF.
There is ongoing and frequent dialogue between the Deloitte Global ERF team, which facilitates the preparation of the Deloitte Global ERF, the Deloitte Global risk owners, and other Deloitte Global teams to help ensure early identification and escalation of any matters requiring consideration by the relevant risk owner(s) and executive leadership.
The Deloitte Global Chief Risk Officer (CRO) reports on Deloitte’s priority risks on a regular cadence to the Deloitte Global Executive Committee, enabling discussion of risk exposures and mitigation actions. Priority risks are also regularly reviewed by the Risk and Ethics Committee of the Deloitte Global Board of Directors.Priority risks and opportunities
The enterprise risks listed are those that, as of June 2025, are considered to have the most potential for significant impact on Deloitte’s ability to achieve its strategic priorities, meet its stakeholder obligations, and protect its reputation, should the risk materialize.
These risks have been considered based on the potential impact. The risks have been categorized into the following impact dimensions:
The assessment of risk includes an evaluation of primary impact, connection between categories of risk, and risk trending over time.
