This study was aimed to measure the impact of enterprise risk management practices on firm performance following the moderation of staff competence. The present study proposed five hypotheses, three direct and two moderating. For measuring hypotheses and objectives, the current research targeted bank officers in the Kingdom of Bahrain's banking sector. A total final sample of 349 was used in primary analyses selected through simple random sampling. Current research shows significant positive effects of risk culture and risk knowledge sharing on the firm`s (financial and non-financial) performance of banks in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Similarly, the first moderation strengthens the relationship between risk knowledge sharing and firm performance through staff competence. In addition, the second moderation hypothesis does not strengthen the relationship between risk culture and firm performance with the moderating effect of staff competence. The current research findings are supported under the resource-based view with several theoretical and practical implications for researchers and industry practitioners.

The Relationship

This study aims to examine the relationship between enterprise risk management (ERM) implementation and firm performance in Malaysia. Using the sample from 2010 to 2016, this study examines the relationship between ERM and firm performance among Malaysian top 100 public listed firms registered on the Index FTSE Bursa Malaysia 100 (FBM100) KLSE. This study also provides comparisons before and after the introduction of Bursa Malaysia Guidelines 2013. This study shows a positive and significant coefficient between profitability and firm performance towards ERM implementation. However, this study shows insignificant relationship between firm size, financial leverage and audit firm with firm performance. This study also shows that there is an increase in the mean score and standard deviation of these variables after the implementation of Bursa Malaysia Guideline 2013. The findings in this study provides an understanding to the Malaysian public listed firms on the importance of ERM and subsequently, maximise the benefits of ERM especially after the introduction of Bursa Malaysia Guidelines 2013 for the benefits of their stakeholders and regulatory improvement in future.

The Relationship

Risk encroachment into Corporate Governance (CG) remains a continuous process that required an efficient and long-term solution. Using enterprise risk management (ERM) as a moderating variable on the relationship between board structures and corporate performance remains an area unexploited in CG research. This relationship can effectively measure by the extent of ERM interactions between board structures and corporate performance. Despite various studies on CG mechanisms, firm performance, ERM implementation level, and gender diversity, the empirical results appeared inconclusive and the findings are inconsistent. None of the studies have addressed the role play by ERM as a moderator between director ownership, the board size, board independence, the total number of women on the board, number of Muslim directors on the board, and firm performance. It is demonstrated that the ERM has the potential to moderate between the different board structures and corporate performance, and this moderation has never been reported in the literature. It is expected that this ERM moderation may considerably improve corporate performance by determining the strength or weakness of the relationship between board structures and firm performance. Thus, this paper, with regards to available literature, conceptualized that ‘ERM’ moderates the relationship between Board Size, Board Independence, Director Ownership, Total Women in the Board, Muslim directors on the Board, and corporate performance.

This chapter explores a very positive example of enterprise risk management (ERM) development in Mexico, set by the firm Grupo Proeza, from which valuable and highly generalisable lessons can be learned. These lessons will pertain most centrally to Grupo Proeza's techniques of ERM building, where risk management practices are used to enhance the cultural and other foundations for ERM. Of particular interest is the notion that various risk assessment techniques can be used for this purpose, which may seem counter-intuitive by reversing the formative relationship between risk culture and risk assessment practice that is more typically the focus for attention.

Enterprise Risk

Enterprise risk management (ERM) has gained an increased attention among the corporate managers in the recent past as a strategic approach to managing risk. This study empirically verifies whether the adoption of ERM has an impact on firm performance and uses both primary and the secondary data relating to the insurance companies listed on the Colombo Stock Exchange. Return on equity (ROE) is used as a proxy to measure the firm performance and multivariate regression analysis is used to analyze data. The findings of this study suggest that there is a weak positive relationship between the adoption of ERM practice and the return on equity. Out of the eight ERM functions assessed, only ‘event identification’ and ‘control activities’ show a weak positive relationship with ROE. Other ERM functions indicate that there is a weak negative relationship with ROE. The findings of this study contradict with some scholars who find there is a significant positive relationship between adoption of ERM and firm performance. Owing to the contradictory nature of the findings, this study induces corporate managers to pay a close attention to the cost-benefits analysis when designing and implementing ERM system and not to heavily invest and extensively relied upon ERM as a vehicle for creating long-term shareholder value.

Comparative Review

Future of uncertainty and risks in firm businesses and country-based economics remains continuous processes that need to be managed effectively and efficiently. Risks taking is a routine activity in all firms. Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) has now become an ultimate concern and a robust risk management approach in all financial and non-financial industries and other sectors throughout the globe. Firms are adopting ERM as a holistic strategy by putting its core components in practice to effectively manage all risks to protect the organizations and stakeholder value. The process of putting ERM into practice is only effective and efficient through identifying the factors that influence its practice in order to improve the firm performance. As a result of this reason, various factors influencing ERM were examined by different investigators as an indirect factor or as a parameter. However, only a few scholars studied it as a major factor or main objective, despite the risks remain a major issue influencing the goals of enterprises in all firm types in both Jordan and Malaysia. In order to fully consolidate the influencing factors on ERM practices, a comparative review of the available literature in Jordan and Malaysia were carried out to excavate the key influencing factors for direct identification in order to improve the firm performance. The factors identified were categorized into three groups; the management-based, firm-based, and ERMperformance-measurement-based factors. Each group of factors was found to influence the success of ERM strategies and practices in both Jordan and Malaysia. Jordan (Middle-East) and Malaysia (South-East Asia) shared a common characteristic of ERM adoptions and practices with regard to firm composition and risk management. Both countries are now pacing up to meet up with ERM practice challenges. Although, ERM still is a relatively new concept in several parts of Middle-East and SouthEast Asia. Though, Malaysia proved to have more improved and established ERM success factors and researches as compared to Jordan. Additionally, Malaysia was found to have more appeared ERM terms in the Board of Bursa Malaysia (BBM) Guidelines as well as ERM practices under different sectors from 2008 to 2018 compared to Jordanian Amman Stock Exchange (ASE). Thus, it appears that Malaysia has more robust ERM research works, adoptions, practices, and compliance system in place compared to what is obtainable in Jordan. In conclusion, firm managers in Jordan and Malaysia are highly recommended to use these ERM factors identified as strategic and to improve ERM practices in their organizations

Enterprise Risk

Operational risk is defined as the potential losses resulting from events caused by inadequate or failed processes, people, equipment, and systems or from external events. One of the most important challenges for the management of the company is to improve its results through its operational risk identification and evaluation. Most of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) scholarship has roots in the finance/risk management and insurance (RMI) discipline, mainly in the banking sector. This study proposes an innovative operational risk assessment methodology (OpRAM), to evaluate operational risks focused on telecommunications companies (TELCOs), on the basis of an operational risk self-assessment (OpRSA) process and method. The OpRSA process evaluates operational risks through a quantitative analysis of estimates which inputs are the economic impact and the probability of occurrence of events. The OpRSA method is the “engine” for calculating the economic risk impact, applying actuarial techniques, which allow estimation of unexpected losses and expected losses distributions in a TELCO. The results of the analyzed business unit in the field work were compared with standardized ratings (acceptable, manageable, critical, or catastrophic), and contrasted against the company’s managers, proving that the OpRSA framework is a reliable and useful management tool for the business, and leading to more research in other sectors where operational risk management is key for the company success.

The Impact

PurposeThis study investigates firm attributes (namely level of capitalisation, scope of operation, organisational structure, organisational lifecycle, systemic importance and size) affecting the robustness of enterprise risk management (ERM) practice, the extent to which ERM affects the performance of banks and the impact of ERM on the long-term sustainability of banks in Nigeria. This was against the backdrop that the 2012 banking reform was a major regulatory intervention that mainstreamed ERM in the Nigerian banking sector.Design/methodology/approachThe study employed a mixed methodology of content, trend and quantitative analyses. Ex post facto research design was deployed to analyse performance differential of banks, with respect to the implementation of ERM, over a 10-year period (2008–2017). A disclosure checklist developed from the COSO ERM integrated framework was used to assess the robustness of ERM by content-analysing divulgence on risk management in published annual reports. The banking reform periods were dichotomised into pre- (2008–2012) and post- (2013–2017) reform periods. Jonckheere–Terpstra test, independent sample t-test and Mann–Whitney test were applied to analyse a total of 1,036 firm-year observations over the period 2008–2017.FindingsResult shows that bank attributes significantly affecting the robustness of risk management practice are level of capitalisation, scope of operation, systemic importance and size. Performance of banks improved slightly during the post-2012 banking reform period. This suggests that as banks consolidate on the gains of ERM, benefits of the regulatory policy on risk management may be realised in the long run. Result also shows that ERM enhances long-term performance, connoting that effective risk management could serve as a competitive strategy for surviving turbulence that typically characterises the banking sector.Practical implicationsThe emergence of level of capitalisation, scope of operation, systemic importance and size as determinants of ERM provides empirical evidence to support the practice of reviewing the capital requirements for banking business from time to time by regulatory authorities (i.e. recapitalisation policy) as a strategy for managing systemic risk. Top management of banks may consider instituting mechanisms that will ensure risk management is given prominence. A proactive approach must be taken to convert risks to opportunities by banks and other financial institutions, going forward, to cope with the vicissitudes of financial intermediation.Originality/valueThe originality of the study stems from the consideration that it provides some new insights into the impact of ERM on banks long-term sustainability in a developing country. The study also contributes to knowledge by exposing the factors determining the robustness of risk management practice. The study developed a checklist for assessing ERM practice from annual reports and other risk management disclosure documents. The paper also adds to the scarce literature on risk governance and risk management.

Tujuan kertas kerja ini adalah untuk melaporkan hasil kajian terhadap amalan perakaunan pengurusan dan amalan pengurusan risiko di institusi kewangan. Data dikutip menggunakan borang soal selidik yang dihantar kepada 106 institusi kewangan yang tersenarai di dalam website Bank Negara Malaysia, di mana Ketua Pegawai Kewangan atau pegawai terkanan di jabatan kewangan institusi–institusi tersebut dilantik sebagai responden kajian. Analisis amalan perakaunan pengurusan berdasarkan kerangka IFAC (1998) menunjukkan bahawa amalan yang lazim diguna pakai adalah amalan di peringkat pertama, diikuti dengan amalan selepas era 1995. Dapatan ini menunjukkan bahawa amalan perakaunan pengurusan tradisional masih diguna pakai secara meluas oleh institutsi-institusi kewangan di Malaysia walapun amalan–amalan kontemporari (peringkat ke 4 dan ke atas) telah diperkenalkan. Bagi amalan pengurusan risiko, kebanyakan institusi telah melaksanakan kerangka Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) secara menyeluruh atau sebahagian. Amalan perakaunan pengurusan berkaitan penyata kewangan dan analisis nisbah dianggap sebagai memberikan sumbangan utama kepada pengurusan risiko. Kawalan belanjawan, belanjawan dan pengurusan strategik juga dianggap penting dalam pengurusan risiko operasi. Kata kunci: Perakaunan pengurusan; pengurusan risiko; institusi kewangan The aim of this paper is to report the results of a study on management accounting and risk management practices in financial institutions. The research method involved administering a questionnaire to 106 financial institutions listed on the Malaysian Central Bank’s website and the respondents were the chief financial officers (CFO) or the most senior positions in the finance department of the institutions. Based on the IFAC’s (1998) framework, it was found that the most widely practiced were the management accounting practices at Stage 1, followed by practices of Post 1995. This finding shows that despite the emergence of contemporary management accounting practices (Stage 4 onwards), traditional management accounting that focuses on financial performance and budgetary control is still widely practiced by financial institutions in Malaysia. As for the risk management practices, most of the firms have either implemented a complete or partial Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework. The findings from the survey showed that management accounting practices related to financial statement and ratio analysis were perceived to contribute most towards risk management. Budgetary control, budgeting and strategic planning were also perceived to be important in managing operational risks. Key words: Management accounting; risk management; financial institutions
