Risk management and compliance

Institutional resilience is critical for enabling colleges and universities to overcome adversity and thrive in an evolving landscape. Huron guides institutions through the complex interplay of strategic, operational, reputational, compliance, and financial risks — helping them develop dynamic enterprise risk management (ERM) and compliance programs that foster strength and agility throughout the organization.
