Based on a new study conducted with 150 risk managers in major companies across Europe – the most extensive such exercise conducted – this report addresses developments in Enterprise Risk Management in modern business and explores the implications for risk managers and the external ERM consultants their companies employ.

Our risk managers rated and commented on the ERM consultants with whom they had worked during the past 12 months, providing clear comparative performance benchmarking for leading ERM consultants including Accenture, Deloittes, Ernst & Young, KPMG, Oliver Wyman, Protiviti and PWC. These ratings are backed by comprehensive, frank, verbatim risk manager comment – an invaluable guide to the reasons behind the ratings.

The report also deals with the realities of life for today’s European corporate risk manager, including key sources of frustration; the demands of risk financing versus risk management; relations with the Board; concerns over topical issues such as broker transparency and compliance; companies’ most serious risk vulnerabilities; and the reasons risk managers hire – and fire – service providers.
