FM Global Study Finds Many CFOs, Treasurers
and Risk Managers Need to Do More to Prepare for Property-Related
Hazards
A study of Fortune 1000 chief financial officers (CFOs),
treasurers and risk managers across a broad range of industries
reveals more than 50 percent say their companies are not well-prepared
to recover from a "major disruption to their top earnings driver,"
and less than 25 percent of respondents believe their current contingency
planning efforts are adequate.
"The Protecting Value Study serves as a benchmark
that financial executives and risk managers can use to convey the
importance of prudent risk management in addressing property risks.
These findings can be a framework for important discussions at the
highest levels of their organizations." To download a free 12-page
