MAPI publishes survey of corporate risk management function

Manufacturers Alliance/MAPI

A new benchmarking survey focuses on key aspects of the organization and operation of, and the challenges facing, the corporate risk management function today. The 76-page Manufacturers Alliance/MAPI Survey of the Corporate Risk Management Function (S-132) is a refinement and extension of a similar effort performed in 2006, and tracks the evolution of this increasingly important corporate responsibility. Information is based on survey responses from 91 companies.

Information is presented on the function’s structure, staffing, and budget as well as on related topics such as the involvement of the board of directors in risk management matters, risk analysis and qualification techniques, and the use of technology in the risk management department. In addition, the survey addresses the emerging topic of enterprise risk management program design and implementation. Finally, the report details respondent views on outsourcing certain aspects of the risk management function, the development and use of risk management metrics to evaluate function performance, and the hurdles facing such performance at present.

The survey is available (hard copy only) to MAPI member company executives for $75 each and to other purchasers for $150. To order, click on the link above or contact Jasmine Hopwood, administrative assistant, at 703-647-5132 (jhopwood@mapi.net).
