Abstract: In the current dynamic environment, organizations are exposed to many risks from different directions. Therefore, this study using the theoretical lens explored the effect of enterprise risk management (ERM) on both financial and non-financial firm performance and the moderating role of intellectual capital (IC) and its dimensions on the relationship between ERM and firm performance. To test the study hypotheses, a questionnaire survey was distributed to 84 Iranian financial institutions. Structural equation modeling (PLS software) was used to analyze the data statistically. The findings revealed that ERM had a positive relationship with firms' performance. The results also showed that the overall IC had a moderating effect on ERM-firm financial performance. However, regarding components of IC, knowledge, and information technology (IT) had a positive and significant moderating effect while training, organizational culture, and trust did not affect. This study provides an insight into the impact of ERM in recent years on non-financial performance and the influence of intangible assets on ERM and its function. The model developed in the current study and result can be extended and implemented to other organizations in developing countries.
