Enterprise Risk Management: Level of Adoption of Enterprise Risk Management in Public Listed Companies

Studies of the Management of Enterprise Risk by Multinationals from developing countries, including Malaysia meanwhile, have been scarce. This book aims to fill this research gap by analyzing the management of risks in Malaysian multinationals, with a special focus on Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). The research examines the factors associated with the level of adoption of ERM among public listed companies in Malaysia. The main aim of this particular study is to examine the relationship between the quality of Chief Risk Officer (CRO) and the quality of Board of Directors (BOD) with regard to the level of ERM adoption within the companies involved. The Internal Audit Support factor is also examined and the quality of Internal Audit Support (IAS) is a moderating factor in the research framework. Binary Logistic Regression was conducted to test the hypothesis on surveyed firms selected from the seven industries listed on the main board of Malaysia Bourse. This book will be able to shed some insights into the ERM activities of multinationals from a developing country’s perspective by identifying the level of stages that Malaysian public listed companies are adopting ERM.
