The results of Protiviti’s Executive Perspectives on Top Risks in 2021 and 2030 Survey highlight a disruptive risk landscape over the next decade and capture the most important uncertainties by industry, executive position, company size and type, and geographic area. The survey was conducted online in the September-October 2021 time frame to capture perspectives on the minds of executives regarding the risks over the short term, 2022, as well as over the long term, with a 10-year horizon to 2031.

This issue of Board Perspectives summarizes seven key takeaways from the survey and ranks the highest-rated risk themes in order of priority.
