Summary
Risk management is high on the agenda of lawmakers, policymakers, supervisory bodies, academics, corporate advisors and corporate constituents. Risk management was acknowledged as early as World War II but the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center twin towers and the collapse of Enron, Worldcom and other companies, together with the recent financial crisis, the alleged Goldman Sachs’ fraudulent structuring and marketing of a synthetic mortgage bond, the (continuation of) skyrocketing bonus schemes and Greece's flirting with bankruptcy, prevent any dwindling of interest in risk management.
