Résumé

The effective management of risk has become a key boardroom issue. Companies now realise that, while financial integrity and business continuity are still of primary importance, these but must be considered alongside practical business risks, such as branding and reputation, employment practices, product liability, health and safety, fraud, intellectual property, customer loyalty and supply chains. Problems in any of these areas can undermine prospects for creating value and delivering earnings to forecast.

To manage business risks it is imperative that a company’s board is structured to provide clear controls on risks and to deliver transparent reporting to stakeholders. Passively complying with rules and regulations is no longer an option.

This practical guide to potential areas of risk within a business contains invaluable advice for directors of both large and small companies, bringing readers up to speed with the latest thinking and techniques for managing risk in a structured and integrated way.

Topics covered include:

reputational risk
change and continuity
risks in the supply chain
service interruptions
corporate governance
environmental, social and ethical disclosure
corporate social responsibility
political risk
anti-competitive practices
commercial and professional indemnity
directors’ liabilities
controlling financial risk
fraud
intellectual property
information security
health and safety at work, occupational health
employment practices
catastrophe and loss: flood, fire, on the road.
