This report summarises case studies on risk management practices at four major organisations: Tesco, Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), Birmingham City Council and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). The full case studies themselves are available in a book along with supporting material on risk management. A link to the site where the book can be ordered is given at the end of this document. The authors of each report interviewed key staff to gain a sense of how risk management was working at their organisations, as well as incorporating material from annual reports, other publicly available statements and internal risk management documents. In each case, the authors have also explored any external pressures on risk, particularly from regulators or legislation. (PDF 454KB)
