Current Risk

Enterprise risk management (ERM) is used to manage, integrate and aggregate all types of risks encountered by the concerned organisation. Despite having established framework and guidelines, the implementation of ERM at divisional level seemed to be lacking. There are gaps in the actual risk management practices that need to be studied and narrowed to ensure a more effective implementation of risk management. Therefore, the objective of this study is to identify characteristics of effective risk management practices and to gauge the effectiveness level at a telecommunication company. The gaps between the actual practices and the expected practices based on twenty-four (24) identified characteristics are identified and compared upon before recommendations are made to close the gaps and further enhance the risk management practices. For the purpose of this research the self-administered, web-based questionnaires were distributed to a total number of 130 engineers who were actively involved with network infrastructure planning, development and maintenance. The feedbacks received indicated that the respondents agreed with the identified characteristics of effective risk management practices and generally agreed that the effectiveness level of current risk management practices in the company is moderate or average. Furthermore, the gap analysis based on the variances indicates that there are rooms for further improvement. The study is important for more effective risk management practices in telecommunication companies.

This case study explores what went wrong in Tesco that resulted in the fraud of accounting misstatements of the magnitude of £263 million, why the fraud remained undetected over a number of years, which resulted in catastrophic consequences for both Tesco and its stakeholders. Furthermore, it highlights the lessons learnt from this debacle in Tesco, with focus on enterprise risk management, change management, corporate governance, materiality of transactions from accounting perspective, auditors' independence, sound accounting practices, internal controls and, employees' incentives policies. Finally, while the ultimate price of these scandals is paid by the society at large - particularly stockholders who put their hard earned savings in these institutions just on the basis of their trust on them - and while such scandals are often attributed to gaps in internal controls and auditors' negligence, this study concludes that, whatever controls are put in place or whatever accounting and reporting standards are set, if the people who are the part of system themselves decide to bypass the control systems, it is next to impossible to prevent such fraudulent activities. This case study has been prepared for educational purposes based on public available sources such as newspapers, magazines, websites and other referred articles.

Economic Reality

Risk is inherent in all parts of the organization and if it is not efficiently managed by the senior management it will affect the confidence and expectations of the stakeholders. Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is said as a best practice technique to evaluate and manage all these risks in this new economic reality. Therefore, organizations practicing ERM are more prepared in managing the feasible threats. In fact, there is a general consensus by scholars and researchers that organizations practicing ERM will improve the organizational performance. However, empirical evidence regarding this matter is still considered scarce. As such, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the mediating effect of ERM on risk management support and organizational performance among public listed companies.
