Companies realise that, while financial integrity and business continuity are still of primary importance, these but must be considered alongside practical business risks, such as branding and reputation, employment practices, product liability, health and safety, fraud, intellectual property, customer loyalty and supply chains. Problems in any of these areas can undermine prospects for creating value and delivering earnings to forecast. To manage business risks it is imperative that a company's board is structured to provide clear controls on risks and to deliver transparent reporting to stakeholders. Passively complying with rules and regulations is no longer an option. The second edition of this practical guide to potential areas of risk within a business contains invaluable advice for directors of both large and small companies, bringing readers up to speed with the latest thinking and techniques for managing risk in a structured and integrated way. Topics covered include: • reputational risk • change and continuity • risks in the supply chain • service interruptions • corporate governance • environmental, social and ethical disclosure • corporate social responsibility • political risk • anti-competitive practices • commercial and professional indemnity • directors’ liabilities • controlling financial risk • fraud • intellectual property • information security • health and safety at work, occupational health • employment practices • catastrophe and loss: flood, fire, on the road.
