Recession and Regulations Top Global Risk List
What are CFOs, chief risk officers, and other risk-management professionals from more than 500 different global companies worried about right now?
The economic slowdown and pending regulatory changes, according to Aon Corporation’s global risk management survey, which appears every other year
Here are the top 10 most pressing risks identified in the survey, which was published late last month:
1. Economic slowdown
2. Regulatory/legislative changes
3. Business interruption
4. Increasing competition
5. Commodity price risk
6. Damage to reputation
7. Cash flow/liquidity risk
8. Distribution or supply chain failure
9. Third-party liability
10. Failure to attract or retain top talent
Besides this list, the report also identifies the top ten risks by geographic region and (the top three risks) by industry. Reputation topped the risk list in Aon’s previous (2007) survey. Here’s the page where you can access the current survey report. ###

Interesting that business interruption is right up there. Maybe companies are finally getting the message about the importance of business continuity planning.
