As protectors of their companies' finances, CFOs are on constant guard against a host of risks. And as national news stories show every day, such caution is critical.

This Webcast provides an exclusive first look at findings from a new survey of more than 1,000 senior finance executives about their approaches to managing risk. The in-depth study was conducted by leading researchers at the Wharton School, Johns Hopkins University, and Duke University.

Join us to find out how your peers are making decisions about their risk management priorities, the details of their risk management programs, and how they think levels of risk have changed in recent years. We'll also discuss how finance executives are tackling risks ranging from interest rate and foreign exchange fluctuations to credit exposure to geopolitical risk.
