"an enterprise risk assessment" I'm not 100% certain of what you mean by that.

If you mean an assessment of the general controls present in an enterprise - 
and their effectiveness - then I suggest you look to SAS 70 (google it). 

If you're looking to test the information security program in an enterprise 
then you could do worse than basing your assessment on the ISO17799 Code of 
Practice.

However, if you're looking for a general risk assessment methodology for use 
throughout an enterprise then please feel free to contact me and I'll be happy 
to give you some pointers on where to look, at least.
