Regulatory Scrutiny, Economic Conditions and Cyber Threats Rank as Top C-Suite Risks
More organizations are realizing that additional risk management sophistication is warranted given the fast pace in which complex risks are emerging, according to results of the fourth annual joint survey assessing the current risk environment by global consulting firm Protiviti and the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Initiative at the North Carolina State University Poole College of Management.
The survey, "Executive Perspectives on Top Risks for 2016," summarizes the concerns of 535 board members, C-suite and other top-level executives around the world and across industries. In the survey, respondents rate the significance of 27 risk issues for the coming year, spanning three risk categories: macroeconomic, strategic and operational.
