Risk Everywhere: Extending Ownership Beyond the Risk Function
Now in its eleventh year, BDO’s Global Risk Landscape Report is based on a survey of more than 500 C-suite leaders across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia-Pacific and the Americas. The survey examines their approach to risk management and how they are responding to emerging global events that threaten their businesses. These annual reports have become an important source of information on how business leaders and risk specialists perceive and manage the risks their businesses face.
One of the themes emerging from our 2026 survey is how businesses are responding to deeply interconnected, fast-moving threats amplified by geopolitical instability, technological disruption and economic volatility. For business leaders, change and disruption are no longer the exception – they have become the baseline.
Download our 2026 report today and learn key insights about:
- Why uncertainty is now structural, and why waiting for stability is no longer a viable strategy: with 80% of business leaders say the global risk environment is more defined by crisis than ever before
- How geopolitical risk has become the multiplier shaping all other risks, from supply chains to cyber and regulation
- Why cyber is now a top three risk organizations feel unprepared for, despite rising investment
- How fraud risk is being underestimated as AI-powered fraud accelerates: 93% of leaders do not see fraud as a top risk
- Why AI is amplifying governance and control weaknesses rather than addressing them: only 13% of organizations are actively updating defenses against AI-driven fraud, down from 79% a year ago
- The case for shared, cross-functional ownership of risk that enables faster, confident decision-making
