2013 AFP Risk Survey

 AFP and Oliver Wyman have partnered to produce a series of annual risk management surveys to study the impact that uncertainty has on Treasury and Finance.

Financial professionals at many organizations are faced with the challenge of forecasting earnings in a new era of uncertainty. Volatility, interdependence, the increasing speed of change and what in the past were only-once-in-100-year long-tail events (or black swans) are now, more than ever, defining the operating environment for business. The current Risk survey focuses on how organizations are addressing uncertainty through a risk-adjusted framework, including forecasting, risk culture, organizational structure, metrics and other solutions. 

The survey generated responses from 547 senior financial professionals at a range of organizations, large and small, public and private, across North America. Read more here:
