DESCRIPTION:
As the food fraud prevention strategies become more formalized they become an active management system. As management systems are formalized they force more basic questions as “how much is enough” and also how the assessment calibrates with other assessments. Is a food fraud “medium” risk rank on the same scale as a food safety “medium” rank? Is a food fraud “medium” risk rank on the same scale as a marketplace disruption “Medium” rank? For one system to be able to calibrate those risk ranks to support logical decision-making there needs to be a central integrated framework. While it may seem like a new concept for food scientists, the COSO based Enterprise Risk Management answers these questions. Since the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 this type of internal controls and integrated framework has been a regulatory requirement. This presentation will synthesize the interdisciplinary enterprise risk management foundation for assessing and managing supply chain disruptions such as were created by COVID.
