Corporate Finance and Governance Risk Management in Financial Firms Corporate Governance and Financial Management

Abstract

This study explores the relationship between corporate governance processes and the perceived management of risk by the board. Based on a large sample survey augmented by commentary on the results from focus groups comprising experienced directors, it considers the relative importance of board tasks within the context of the governance processes adopted by boards. In particular, it evaluates directors' assessment of their ability to influence the risk profile of the organization. It then considers their evaluation of other board members' expertise and experience as directors in relation to these processes. The findings highlight the fact that directors see other board members as lacking in key financial, accounting, and other skills and perceive them as being unable to influence key outcomes. These findings suggest that this lack of influence is a result of current governance architectures and is independent of board processes.
