In the last several years, both in the economic practice of the OECD countries and in the development of theoretical thinking, there has been a significant breakthrough in the approach to corporate insurance. Insurance in business management is no longer considered only as a category of finance and accounting for an enterprises , which results from the traditional understanding of this issue. Today’s approach is insufficient to define the role of business risk management. In the traditional approach to insurance, its importance is focused on the recording and analysis of the cost of risk transfer. As a consequence, in practise, many companies and institutions implement the short-term approach to managing the cost of insurance and analyzing the degree of risk coverage, primarily property, relative insurance, relative to the cost of insurance cover.The purpose of this article is to explain how insurance contributes to increasing business security and business turnover, especially in the context of cyberbullying. It is therefore hypothesized that in the turbulent environmental variability and under pressure of changes resulting from technological synergies, the importance of insurance in risk management, especially regulatory risk and technological risk, is growing.

Risk is inherent in all parts of the organization and if it is not efficiently managed by the senior management it will affect the confidence and expectations of the stakeholders. Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is said as a best practice technique to evaluate and manage all these risks in this new economic reality. Therefore, organizations practicing ERM are more prepared in managing the feasible threats. In fact, there is a general consensus by scholars and researchers that organizations practicing ERM will improve the organizational performance. However, empirical evidence regarding this matter is still considered scarce. As such, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the mediating effect of ERM on risk management support and organizational performance among public listed companies.

This research empirically investigates the role of the enterprise risk management system implementation level in capturing firm managerial incentives. The system plays an important role in understanding the association between international financial reporting standards and the capital market. Listed firms in the Australian market were used for the period 2000-2010 for this purpose. The study results imply that implementing higher levels of ERM by Australian firms during the mandatory IFRS adoption period does not capture firm incentives in IFRS period. Consequently, these results suggest that the implementation of ERM by Australian firms does not reduce the contractual costs between investors and management, whilst adopting IFRS does. Future research may use other techniques and/or strategies other than ERM, to capture the firm incentives, and as a result, may have economic consequences.
