In Asia's environment of accelerating change, fierce competition, expanding opportunities, and convergence of technology, the complexity of risks that organisations confront assumes greater significance. The impact of risk on businesses today is more pervasive and challenging than ever before.

Hence, effective risk control should be integrated into management systems, address the full scope of risks facing organisations, and ensure that everyone has accountability for managing risk.
