Abstract: As technology improves risks affecting firms also increases and they become complex. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of information technology on enterprise risk management of listed firms in Kenya. Enterprise management is measured by financial performance. With the advancement in technology risk management becomes complex and therefore posing an increasing number of new risks on market players. There are increasing cases of fraud through use of technology and mostly affecting financial institutions where large amounts of money is transferred from one account to another without the knowledge of the owners. An increase in business activities, complexity, unpredictability and evolving risks have triggered momentum in enterprise risk management (ERM) globally. While there is growing attention on ERM globally in recent years, disturbing statistics on increasing and evolving risk continue to affect firms.
