Risk Culture in Enterprise Risk Management

Risk Culture in Enterprise Risk Management

Several RIMS chapters are facilitating this survey of risk culture in firms using enterprise risk management, for a research paper by the Department of Risk Management and Insurance, and the Department of Managerial Sciences, at Georgia State University - Robinson College of Business. 

There are 18 questions here. The last few questions are broad questions about your firm so we can understand how if at all that affects a firm's implementation of risk culture. Survey results are anonymous.
