Abstract

In recent years, risk has become one of the most important business issues. The aim of this paper is to analyze the obligations of all companies listed on the Athens stock exchange, not only to identify and manage business risks but also to inform investors regarding those risks. The identification and management of risks protects businesses and adds value to the shareholders and all interested parties. During previous years many organizations collapsed due to irregularities and fraud. Many stakeholders, such as shareholders, creditors, suppliers, customers, employees and governments, were adversely affected. The failure of these organizations was attributed to the inability of senior management and the inadequacy of their boards of directors to identify and inform the problems and risks that they faced in a timely manner. The effectiveness of management contributes to sound corporate-governance practices. This study analyzes the risks disclosed by all nonfinancial companies listed on the;Athens stock exchange by undertaking content analysis of their annual reports during the period 2005–11.
