Survey Finds Risk Managers and Senior Leaders Differ on Role of Risk Management
Although risk managers are taking on more strategic roles in their organizations, a disconnect still exists in many organizations between how risk managers and senior leaders view the role of risk management, according to a new survey published by Marsh and RIMS.
An overwhelming majority of risk managers and C-suite executives responding to the ninth annual Excellence in Risk Management study agreed that expectations of the risk management function have increased in recent years. Yet the two groups differed in their views on whether the role should be primarily defensive or anticipatory.
