The Most Important Risks for 2016

Board Perspectives: Risk Oversight, Issue 78

North Carolina State University’s ERM Initiative and Protiviti have completed their latest survey of C-level executives and directors regarding the macroeconomic, strategic and operational risks their organizations face. The top risks for the rest of this year reflect interesting differences compared to last year and provide insight as to what’s top of mind currently among senior executives and directors around the globe.

More than 500 board members and C-level executives participated in this year’s study. Approximately 70 percent represented companies with operations outside of the United States, with roughly a 50-50 split representing companies headquartered in and out of the United States.
