The article is devoted to the theoretical foundations and analysis of the experience of subjects of the Russian Federation in the field of regional development risk management. The article examines the concept of risk, its difference and relationship with the concepts of uncertainty, threat, danger, security and others. It is determined that dangers are constantly present in the regional economy. And risk, as a measurable uncertainty with multiple outcomes, for which the probability of occurrence of a risk event is calculated, is manifested as a result of the occurrence of a hazard. When comparing the concepts of risk and security, this means that the security of the regional economy is manifested in the ability to resist threats and manage risks, and not in the complete absence of dangers. It is revealed that ISO standards distinguish between the concepts of risk management and risk management. For further discussion, risk management is understood as a systematic approach to using the full range of mechanisms available to public authorities to reduce emerging risks and threats to the socio-economic development of the region. Further, the analysis of risk management in the practice of regional management on the example of the Omsk, Novosibirsk and Tyumen regions is carried out. The relevant tools in the activities of government bodies, such as territorial development strategies, state programs and projects, were identified, which allowed us to introduce a classification of risks with the allocation of strategic, tactical risks of territorial development and project management risks, among which there is a strategic level. The analysis of the implemented tools for compliance with the mandatory stages of risk management showed mainly the absence of risk identification, unified requirements for risk accounting and systematic risk management of regional development. Among the assessed regions, the Tyumen region has the best practices in terms of risk management. For a more detailed analysis authors highlighted the key institutional and instrumental elements of risk management such as risk committee, strategic risk map, risk register, action plan for risk management, and defined logical relationships between them.

Level Of Risk

Risk disclosure practices have received increasing attention in the wake of the 2008 global financial crisis. This study investigated possible determinants relating to the composition of the board committee responsible for risk management, the frequency of board risk committee meetings and whether the company employs a chief risk officer, which could manifest in an enhanced level of risk-related disclosure. Based on the possible determinants identified in the literature, nine hypotheses were developed in order to investigate which of these determinants relate to an enhanced level of risk disclosure by the selected companies. The first required integrated reports of non-financial companies in the Top 40 index of the JSE Securities Exchange were investigated in this study. Regarding one area of investigation, namely the level of risk management disclosure, it was found that the disclosure of companies whose risk committee met more frequently and the disclosure of companies that employed a chief risk officer, were of a relatively higher standard. With regard to the other area of investigation, namely the level of risk identification and mitigation disclosure, no clearly significant determinant of enhanced disclosure was identified.

Purpose – Communication of risk management (RM) practices are a critical component of good corporate governance. Research, to date, has been of little benefit in informing regulators internationally. This paper seeks to contribute to the literature by investigating how listed Australian companies disclose RM information in annual report governance statements in accordance with the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) corporate governance framework. Design/methodology/approach – To address this study’s research questions and related hypotheses, the authors examine the top 300 ASX-listed companies by market capitalisation at 30 June 2010. For these firms, the authors identify, code and categorise RM disclosures made in the annual according to the disclosure categories specified in ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (CGPR). The derived data are then examined using a comprehensive approach comprising thematic content analysis and regression analysis. Findings – The results indicate widespread divergence in disclosure practices and low conformance with the Principle 7 of the ASX CGPR. This result suggests that companies are not disclosing all “material business risks” possibly due to ignorance at the board level, or due to the intentional withholding of sensitive information from financial statement users. The findings also show mixed results across the factors expected to influence disclosure behaviour. While the presence of a risk committee (RC) (in particular, a standalone RC) and technology committee (TC) are found to be associated with some improvement in disclosure levels, the authors do not find evidence that company risk measures (as proxied by equity beta and the market-to-book ratio) are significantly associated with greater levels of RM disclosure. Also, contrary to common findings in the disclosure literature, factors such as board independence and expertise, audit committee independence and the usage of a Big-4 auditor do not seem to impact the level of RM disclosure in the Australian context. Research limitations/implications – The study is limited by the sample and study period selection as the RM disclosures of only the largest (top 300) ASX firms are examined for the fiscal year 2010. Thus, the findings may not be generalisable to smaller firms or earlier/later years. Also, the findings may have limited applicability in other jurisdictions with different regulatory environments. Practical implications – The study’s findings suggest that insufficient attention has been applied to RM disclosures by listed companies in Australia. These results suggest RM disclosures practices observed in the Australian setting may not be meeting the objectives of regulators and the needs of stakeholders. Originality/value – The Australian setting provides an ideal environment to examine RM communication as the ASX has explicitly recommended RM disclosures areas in its principle-based governance rules since 2007 (Principle 7). This differs from other jurisdictions where such disclosure recommendations are typically not provided and provides us with a benchmark to examine the nature and quality of RM disclosures. Despite the recommendation, the authors reveal that low levels and poor RM communication are prevalent in the Australian setting and warrant further investigation.

Abstract. The risks faced by Islamic banks are similar to conventional banks. Therefore, Sharia Banks must also carry out risk management disclosures. This study aims to examine the effect of governance, including the Sharia Supervisory Board, Independent Commissioner, Audit Committee, Risk Committee, the doubling of the Sharia Supervisory Board Position, and the frequency of meetings on the quality of risk management disclosures. The population is Sharia Banks in ASEAN; samples are selected purposively according to the data's completeness that can be accessed through the capital market website. Risk management disclosures are measured using the index of completeness of risk items revealed. Data analysis was performed using multiple regression analysis. The study found that the number of audit committees and meeting frequency had a significant and positive effect on the quality of risk management disclosures. The number of Sharia supervisory boards has a significant effect on the negative coefficient. Other governance variables do not affect risk management disclosures.Keywords: Sharia Bank, Corporate Governance, Risk Management, Disclosure.Abstrak. Risiko yang dihadapi bank syariah hampir sama dengan bank konvensional. Oleh karena itu, Bank Syariah juga wajib melakukan pengungkapan manajemen risiko. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh tata kelola antara lain Dewan Pengawas Syariah, Komisaris Independen, Komite Audit, Komite Risiko, penggandaan Jabatan Dewan Pengawas Syariah, dan frekuensi rapat terhadap kualitas pengungkapan manajemen risiko. Populasinya adalah Bank Syariah di ASEAN. Sampel dipilih secara purposif sesuai dengan kelengkapan data yang dapat diakses melalui website pasar modal. Pengungkapan manajemen risiko diukur dengan menggunakan indeks kelengkapan item risiko yang diungkap. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan analisis regresi berganda. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa jumlah komite audit dan frekuensi rapat berpengaruh signifikan dan positif terhadap kualitas pengungkapan manajemen risiko. Jumlah dewan pengawas syariah berpengaruh signifikan dengan koefisien negatif. Variabel tata kelola lainnya tidak mempengaruhi pengungkapan manajemen risiko.Kata Kunci: Bank Syariah, Tata Kelola Perusahaan, Manajemen Risiko, Pengungkapan.

The Relationship

The aim of our research is to investigate the relationship between risk management, corporate governance and performance in lending institutions. Mainly, this research seeks to examine the effect of risk management and some board’s features on financial performance. Empirical analyses are conducted from a sample of 17 Tunisian lending institutions over the period 2002-2011 using an OLS regression. The study shows that board size affect performance significantly. Most importantly, the existence of a risk committee within the institution has a negative and significant effect on performance.

Financial Environment

This study examines the influence of risk governance on financial performance of 50 quoted firms in the Nigerian financial sector for the period of five years (2013–2017). Panel data was used to examine how the risk governance variables (Enterprise Risk Management_index, Chief Risk Officer_presence, Board Risk Committee_size, Board Risk Committee_activism, and Board Risk Committee_independence) affects financial performance (Return on Asset). The study reveals empirically that most of the risk governance variables (ERM_index, CRO_presence, BRC_activism, and BRC_independence) have a significant and positive impact on the performance of the firm with the exception of BRC_size which shows a negative association with the financial performance of the studied firms. The study empirically reveals that strong Chief Risk Officer (CRO) presence, effective board risk committee, and inclusion of independent directors in the risk committee will go far in serving as factors that would improve the performance of firms in today’s financial environment. This study made a lot of core findings that contribute to the emerging literatures on risk governance and risk management research.

The recent financial crisis highlights the weaknesses of the traditional measures of risk in the banking sector, as Banking Authorities have missed considering the behavioural aspect of the risk culture, which is an essential tool for the value creation process of risk management (Financial Stability Board, 2014; Carretta et al., 2015; Schwizer, 2013; Guiso, Sapienza and Zingales, 2015), usually measured using the survey method. Our paper addresses a central question: What is an alternative measure of risk that estimates the banking risk-taking behaviour, also considering their risk culture? By analysing a panel of the thirty Global Systematically Important Banks (G-SIBs) from 2006 and 2013, our paper provides empirical evidence that the presence of a Risk Committee, the size of the Risk Committee and the number of the Risk Committee’s meetings have a positive impact on a bank’s volatility. Using multiple regression analysis on panel data, we verify the relationship between the bank asset risk and explicative variables that measure risk governance, banks’ size and traditional banks’ risk indicators. Our study extends the literature by providing evidence that separates RCs as having a significant impact on reducing firms’ volatility and as being an important risk governance tool in the hands of boards. Moreover, given the recent emphasis of regulatory bodies on strengthening the risk management and risk reporting systems of financial firms and the overwhelming trend of firms to form a separate RC, our study responds to the opportunity to investigate this relationship.
