Protiviti and North Carolina State University’s ERM Initiative performed a recent Top Risks survey, highlighting risks that lie ahead for organizations. The survey was conducted online near the end of 2020 to capture perspectives on executives’ minds as they peered into 2021 to rank 36 risks in terms of relative impact.

This issue of Board Perspectives: Risk Oversight shares some of the key takeaways from the survey and ranks the top 10 risk themes in order of priority to provide context for understanding the most critical uncertainties companies across the world face looking forward over the next several months.
