One View of the State of Enterprise Risk Management Practice

by Robert N. Charette

In late October, IBM released the findings of an interesting survey it conducted in the spring and summer of 2007 of over 1,200 chief financial officers (CFOs) from 79 countries. The survey results reveal some interesting insights into the current practice of enterprise risk management (ERM), and provide a point of comparison with Cutter Consortium's State of Risk Management Practice survey, which I conducted in 2006.
