Purpose: The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of risk evaluation on performance of financial institutions.Methodology: The study used explanatory research design. The study used stratified random sampling to select respondents from target population comprising of managers of 46 commercial banks, 52 Micro Finance institutions (MFIs) and 200 SACCOs and a sample size of 239 respondents obtained. Data was collected using questionnaires. Descriptive statistics was presented, while inferential statistics was done using Pearson product moment correlation.Results: There was a positive influence of risk evaluation [r = .813, p<.05] on the performance of financial institutions was obtained. The risk evaluation positively influenced the performance of financial institutions. The risk evaluation had positive relationship with performance of financial institutions (P<0.05). The null hypothesis HO3 stating that there is no significant effect of risk evaluation on performance of financial institutions was rejected. This indicates that for each increase in the risk evaluation, there is 0.821 increase in performance of financial institutions.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study has established the importance of ownership structure as a system of corporate governance that significantly moderates the relationship between risk management practices and performance of financial institutions can exploit various risk management practices identification, analysis, evaluation and monitoring should be enhanced so as to bring efficiency in the performance of financial institutions. These may be achieved through establishment and implementation of risk identification, analysis, evaluation and monitoring policy framework which will significantly influence performance of financial institutions and enhance shareholder capabilities to evaluate all risks that can hinder the financial institutions from achieving their set objectives

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

AbstractThis paper reviews the literature on risk management practices and methods in product design and development. Based on an expert workshop by the Risk Management Processes and Methods in Design Special Interest Group within the Design Society and literature review, three key areas are discussed: risk identification, assessment, and mitigation. In each area, researchers have described practices that are used in product development organizations, proposed new methods to support risk management processes and decision-making, and generated evidence to evaluate the effectiveness of these activities.

Purpose – Globally expanding supply chains (SCs) have grown in complexity increasing the nature and magnitude of risks companies are exposed to. Effective methods to identify, model and analyze these risks are needed. Risk events often influence each other and rarely act independently. The SC risk management practices currently used are mostly qualitative in nature and are unable to fully capture this interdependent influence of risks. The purpose of this paper is to present a methodology and tool developed for multi-tier SC risk modeling and analysis. Design/methodology/approach – SC risk taxonomy is developed to identify and document all potential risks in SCs and a risk network map that captures the interdependencies between risks is presented. A Bayesian Theory-based approach, that is capable of analyzing the conditional relationships between events, is used to develop the methodology to assess the influence of risks on SC performance Findings – Application of the methodology to an industry case study for validation reveals the usefulness of the Bayesian Theory-based approach and the tool developed. Back propagation to identify root causes and sensitivity of risk events in multi-tier SCs is discussed. Practical implications – SC risk management has grown in significance over the past decade. However, the methods used to model and analyze these risks by practitioners is still limited to basic qualitative approaches that cannot account for the interdependent effect of risk events. The method presented in this paper and the tool developed demonstrates the potential of using Bayesian Belief Networks to comprehensively model and study the effects or SC risks. The taxonomy presented will also be very useful for managers as a reference guide to begin risk identification. Originality/value – The taxonomy developed presents a comprehensive compilation of SC risks at organizational, industry, and external levels. A generic, customizable software tool developed to apply the Bayesian approach permits capturing risks and the influence of their interdependence to quantitatively model and analyze SC risks, which is lacking.

Risk management practices are currently a subject of interest and a novel impression beneath research and application by diverse organizations. Nevertheless, there seems much to be debated on this subject in terms of a general strategic risk management practices statement. There is uncertainty like, when there should be a declaration for each principal risk category the organization experiences or should exist a general risk management practices for the organization. A risk management practice is about achieving corporate goals. For many financial institutions (FIs), dual goals exist such as the social and economic perspectives. This study sought to analyze the effect of strategic risk management practices on corporate investment of selected financial institutions in Rwanda. The study aimed at establishing the effect of operational risk management practices, market risk management practices, compliance risk management practices and governance risk management practices on corporate investment in selected commercial banks in Rwanda. The study adopted descriptive research design. The study targeted 95 managers from finance, internal audit, risk compliance and operations departments. The sample size was 77 respondents. The research was conducted using primary and secondary data, which includes survey forms (questionnaires), interviews as well as reports of the targeted institutions. Information for the research were gathered utilizing organized surveys forms that were distributed to the targeted respondents. Narrative information obtained from interviews and open-ended questions in the questionnaire were analyzed using qualitative approaches. Validity and reliability of the instruments were tested using the Cronbach Alpha test retest methods. With the aid of Statistical Package for Social Science version 21.0, both descriptive statistics such as the means, modes, standard deviation, variances and inferential statistics were analyzed. The research revealed that management of operational risk has a constructive effect financial outcomes performance of financial institutions in Rwanda. The study found that there is a correlation between both operational risk management and market risk management and performance of the financial institutions. The research findings revealed that operational risk management (r=0.096, p<0.01), market risk management (r=0.506, p<0.01) and compliance risk (r=0.612, p<0.01) on corporate investments.

The article seeks to explore and evaluate the level of risk management maturity in Ukrainian enterprises in the process of ensuring their economic security. The study presents the results of an analytical survey on risk management practices to ensure enterprise economic security. To achieve the research objectives, the following methods have been employed: to obtain data for the analytical research, the method of questionnaire-based expert evaluation on the Google Forms platform; the method of comparison, the graphical method – to evaluate previously received analytical data on the risk management maturity level. The findings revealed that the implementation of a risk-based approach is perceived as a tool to increase the company value and achieve strategic goals. The survey results showed the distribution of expert opinions, indicating the willingness of Ukrainian companies to implement risk-oriented management approaches to ensure their economic security. It is demonstrated that the major objective of the risk-oriented approach is to ensure the effective and lawful business operation in the long run which may come into a conflict with the operational management priority, i. e. short term profit maximization. The analytical survey argues that a risk-oriented approach challenges the use of impartial methods to risk identification, taking risk management actions, and the search for an optimal solution between profit raising here and now, and the long-term sustainable development and protection of shareholders’ interests. The study on the latest tools for assessing the level of economic security using a risk-oriented approach is a critical instrument in enhancing corporate management practices at different management levels, providing further nation-wide implications on stabilization of domestic business performance to improve the overall national security indicators in the international economic and political arenas.

Project failure is an increasingly worrying challenge in Kenya. In implementation of exchequer funded building construction projects, the challenge is real. The study examined the influence of risk management practices on the performance of exchequer funded building construction projects in Machakos County. Little research has been conducted on risk identification and its influence on performance of exchequer funded building construction in Machakos County, this study intended to on build onto the already existing body of knowledge. The study was informed by Agency theory and it employed a descriptive survey research design. The target population was 585 National Construction Authority registered contractors and sample size was 232 respondents. In this case the sample selected is deemed to be representative enough of the whole population and therefore valid and genuine generalizations can be made. Methodology involved in collection and analysis of primary data. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze data. Quantitative data was tabulated and analyzed using frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviation. Test statistics computed to establish degree of relationship between the variables was Fisher test. The findings depict that risk identification leads to the performance of exchequer funded building construction Projects by factor of 0.237 with P values of 0.008. At 5% level of significance and 95% level of confidence, this is statistically significant as the P-Value is lower than 0.05. The results for testing the hypothesis were (P=0.008<0.05)as the P-Value is lower than 0.05. The study therefore rejects the null hypothesis. The study concludes that there is significant positive relationship between that risk identification leads to the performance of exchequer funded building construction Projects. Further research can be done to assess the risk identification in other county governments and national government projects in Kenya and other countries in order to establish whether the explored factors can be generalized to influence the performance of exchequer funded building construction Projects. The findings of this paper will be used to serve as a longer-term safeguard against risks in construction of buildings in Kenya.
