▼ M.Ing.
This dissertation focuses on an industrial risk management case study, which aims to illustrate how the risks involved in a new project have to be identified, approached and managed. The aim of this dissertation is therefore to act as an example of modem risk management theory and implementation in an industrial engineering environment. The first part of the dissertation focuses on the theoretical background of risk management. It starts by giving the history of risk after which a definition of risk is concluded from a variety of text books. The history of risk shows how risk developed through the ages and evolved into a way of making sure that the right strategic decisions are taken. The following chapters focus on the frameworks that have been developed by different international parties to structure the risk management process. The financial environment is also highlighted as an industry in which risk has been developed to help companies tremendously in making investment decisions. Although there are fundamental differences between risk management in the industrial and financial environment, there are however a few similarities. One aspect that can be taken from the financial environment and be implemented in the industrial environment is the fact that risk management has to be done according to a fixed structure or framework. A short literature case study shows how businesses made crucial mistakes in the past, and how implementing modem risk management techniques can rectify these mistakes. A big part of risk management is not only the qualitative analysis, but also in the quantitative analysis, which was ignored in the literature case study. The theory behind these quantitative techniques is highlighted as the last theoretical background before the second part of the dissertation focuses on the risk involved in the expansion project of an oil refinery. After the theoretical background of the expansion project is given as an introduction to the case study, the quantitative analysis for the expansion project is done. Through A Case Study in Industrial Risk Management 2 the quantitative analysis, the high risks involved in the project are highlighted more clearly and numbers or figures will indicate how realistic the objectives of the project are. By monitoring and controlling these critical project variables through the project life cycle, the chances of achieving the project results are greatly increased.

▼ In today’s dynamic commercial environment, risks are increasing and risk management is
becoming an integral part of any organization; especially for the Small and Medium
enterprises, which due to limited resources and weak structural features are more
vulnerable to the harmful effects of risks. The relationship between risk management and
financial performance has been explored in other studies with sectors such as banking
being covered almost exhaustively; however, few studies have been conducted in the
SME sector. This study was therefore an attempt to establish the nature of relationship
between risk management and financial performance of the SME sector in Kenya. The
study employed risk management practice as a multidimensional construct so as to help
provide a relevant trajectory for understanding financial performance of the top 100
SMEs in Kenya. The study therefore attempted to address the following research
question: To what extent have the top 100 SMEs in Kenya adopted the various risk
management techniques? How do the various risk management techniques employed
relate with the financial performance?
To achieve this, the study adopted a descriptive research design. A sample size of 50
SMEs located within Nairobi and its environs were selected from a population consisting
of the top 100 SMEs in Kenya for the year 2013 using judge mental sampling. The
response rate was 80%, which comprised 40 SMEs. Data was collected using a
questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS version 17. The findings revealed that the top 100
SMEs in Kenya applied risk acceptance and risk diversification to a ‘great extent’
compared with other techniques such as loss prevention, risk avoidance and risk transfer,
which were moderately applied by SMEs. The study also found out that risk management
techniques ,that is risk avoidance, loss prevention, risk transfer and risk diversification
had a negative effect on financial performance (ROA) with beta coefficients of -0.022,-
0.029, -0.032 and -0.007 respectively. Risk acceptance according to the study had a
positive effect on financial performance (ROA) with a beta coefficient of 0.028.In
general the study found out that risk management constructs have a strong positive
correlation with the financial performance (ROA) of SMEs with a correlation coefficient
of 0.823.
From the findings, the researcher concluded that applied risk management techniques had
a positive effect on the financial performance of the SMEs and thus recommended that
management, owners and other relevant stakeholders to make risk management a core
business process in order to improve returns.

▼ The banking sector plays are very important role in the economy and the stability of the
sector can not be over emphasized. Central bank of Kenya is mandated to regulate the
industry. By the end of 2009 there were 44 licensed commercial banks operating in the
country. Since 2005 CBK adopted risk based supervision. Global trends such as Basel
framework requires bank to establish risk management systems to measure and mitigate
risks. Several theories on risk management have been put across among them financial
theory, agency theory, stakeholder theory and new institutional economics. Several
studies have being conducted with bias towards tools and techniques adopted by various
institutions on credit risk management. Study on the various risk encountered by
commercial banks has not been conducted.
This study sought to identify the risks encountered by commercial banks and the risk
management practices adopted by commercial banks to mitigate against these risks.
Further the study wanted to establish the challenges faced by commercial banks in
successful implementation of risk management. A census survey was conducted for all
the licensed banks operating in Kenya. Questionnaires were administered to risk
management staff through drop and pick approach. A 56.8 percent response rate was
realized. The data was analyzed using SPSS.
The study revealed that credit, operation, reputation and compliance risks as critical and
commonly encountered. Majority of the banks have risk management structures in place.
However the quality of the same could not be ascertained. Majority of the banks were
found to use both qualitative and quantitative methods to measure risk. Scenario analysis
was found to be the most common used technique to measure risk. Budget constraint,
complexity of risk management process and high training costs were identified as the
main challenges facing implementation of risk management.
Progress has been made in risk management by commercial banks in Kenya as revealed
by the study as most of the banks have risk management structures in place. This can
partly be attributed by enhanced regulation and also realization of the banks on the
x i
importance of risk management. Despite the progress achieved so far there need to
enhance risk management in the banking sector in order to comply with international
standards so as to remain competitive. The challenges identified also need to be
addressed through stakeholders’ concerted efforts.

Term structure models with unspanned factors and unspanned stochastic volatility.

▼ Certain models of the term structure of interest rates exhibit unspanned stochastic volatility (USV). A model has this property if it involves a source of stochastic variation — called an unspanned factor — that does not affect the model’s interest rates directly, but does affect the extent to which future interests are liable to change (that is, interest-rate volatility). This thesis is concerned with these models, from a variety of perspectives. Firstly, the theoretical foundation of the USV property is addressed. Formal definitions of unspanned factors and USV are developed, generalising ones tentatively proposed in the literature. Several results from these definitions and the accompanying framework are derived. Particularly, the ability to hedge general claims (i.e., the completeness or lack thereof) of these models is examined in detail. Examples are given to illustrate the features of the proposed framework and the necessity of the generalised definitions. Secondly, the empirical issue of whether USV models are necessary to plausibly represent observed interest-rate markets is interrogated. An empirical derivative-hedging approach is adopted, the results of which are contextualised by also treating data simulated from models with USV and non-USV versions. It is shown that hedging effectiveness is relatively robust to the presence of USV, which resolves the apparent conflict between the two studies that have taken a hedging approach to this question. Despite the cross-sectional hedging effects being surprisingly minor, further regression results show that USV models are needed to model the time series of market interest rates. Finally, the thesis addresses a certain class of models that exhibit USV: those with one spanned factor (driving interest-rate variation) and one unspanned, volatility-related factor. Being the simplest non-trivial USV models, these bivariate USV models are fundamental, and — like onefactor models in general settings — are helpful in introducing and comparing higher-factor models when simple ones are insufficient. These models are shown to exist (contradicting a claim in the literature); to share a particular affine form for their bond pricing functions; and to necessarily exhibit a short-term interest rate with dynamics of a certain type. A specific bivariate USV model is then proposed, which is analysed and compared to others in the literature.

▼ Estimating and extrapolating long term equity implied volatilities is of importance in the investment and insurance industry, where ’long term’ refers to periods of ten to thirty years. Market-consistent calibration is difficult to perform in the South African market due to lack of long term liquid tradable derivatives. In this case, practitioners have to estimate the implied volatility surface across a range of expiries and moneyness levels. A detailed evaluation is performed for different estimation techniques to assess the strengths and weaknesses of each of the models. The estimation techniques considered include statistical and time-series techniques, non-parametric techniques and three potential methods which use the local volatility model.

Continuous risk monitoring and assessment: CRMA.

▼ In their monograph “Continuous Assurance (CA) for the Now Economy,” Vasarhelyi et al. (2010) introduce Continuous Risk Monitoring and Assessment (CRMA) as a future area of continuous auditing. CRMA is a CA methodology to monitor an organization’s business risks, identify its uncontrolled significant risks, and prioritize audit and risk management procedures for the timely mitigation of such risks. They argue that development of CRMA procedures is necessary to keep maintain the relevance of CA system in a changing audit risk environment. This dissertation discusses the development of CRMA and proposes a methodology encompassing four components: (1) identification of the entity risks, (2) selection of relevant Key Risk Indicators (KRI, Institute of Operation Risk, 2010), (3) use of relevant KRIs to assess the entity’s risk exposure levels, and (4) prioritization of audit and risk management procedures in real time. This framework will assist the auditor in selecting audit procedures in response to changes in the entity’s business risks, facilitating timelier prevention or mitigation of their adverse effects on the entity’s business operations. Addressing those four components guided the development of the proposed methodology of CRMA. To illustrate the use of KRIs to assess and monitor business risks under the proposed CRMA methodology, we discuss the monitoring and assessment of corporate reputation risk using KRIs. We also present a metric that measures the degree of negative public perception of an organization extracted from current social media platforms (specifically, Twitter) as a KRI to represent the organization’s current reputation level and confirm the occurrence of the organization’s reputational damage. We demonstrate the present KRI by measuring Twitter response to two real risk events: Purina’s lawsuit for selling harmful dog food and Starbucks’ “Race Together” campaign. We analyze the Twitter response mentioning these two risk events and measure the degree of the public’s negative perception embedded in them by using the present KRI. We discuss our methods used to perform this analysis and present the results.

Quantitative Risk Assessment of Natural and Cut Slopes:
Measuring Uncertainty in the Estimated Risks and Proposed Framework

▼ Understanding and limiting the risks inherent to
natural and cut slopes are now recognized to be a priority in
achieving an acceptable quality of life. Various methods of risk
management that have been proposed in the last three decades have
evolved into a general framework for landslide risk management. In
particular, quantitative risk assessments can assist in
communicating risks. They also provide a clear and systematic
framework to analyze slope failure processes, from origin, to
movement, to consequence; and the effect of different remedial
works and strategies. Some of the challenges and perceived
limitations of quantitative risk assessments are related to the
necessary input of expert opinion when estimating the risk levels
in a quantitative manner. One objective of this work is the
systematic assessment of the uncertainties in the estimated values
of risk. Quantitative risk analyses are carried out for two case
histories, where population of the analyses input parameters is
done as probability distributions rather than fixed values. The
probability distributions of the input parameters cover the range
of values believed realistic for each input parameter. The risk is
then estimated through a Monte Carlo simulation technique, and the
outcome of the analysis is a probability distribution of the
estimated risk. This methodology shows the potential for evaluating
the uncertainties related to risk estimations. The full potential
of the risk management framework is best met with the establishment
of risk evaluation criteria. The other objective of this work
focuses on the development of risk evaluation criteria. It is not
the intention of this work to develop case specific criteria, as
this responsibility should lie with owners and regulators, but to
propose a framework for developing the criteria, where the risk
analyst takes an active role. A summary of the state of practice
for quantitative risk assessments is included as part of the
thesis. The work on the evaluation of uncertainty related to the
estimated risks and a proposed framework for developing risk
evaluation criteria are then presented. The last two chapters of
the thesis present a summary of the research results, conclusions
and proposed future research.

▼ Credit risk has always been a vicinity of concern not only to bankers but to the entire business
world because the risks of a trading partner not fulfilling his obligations in full on due date can
seriously jeopardize the affairs of the other partner. This study sought to review the effect of
credit risk management on the financial performance of commercial banks. The research design
used in this study was descriptive research design. The design was appropriate because the study
involved an in depth study of credit risk management and the relationship between the two
variables i.e. credit risk management and the financial performance of commercial banks was
described extensively.
Secondary data collected from the commercial banks annual reports (2007-2011) was used. Of
the 43 commercial banks in Kenya, full data was attained from 26 banks and thus the study
concentrated on the 26 banks. The data collected from the annual reports of the banks was
analyzed using multiple regression analysis. The regression output was obtained using Statistical
Package for Social Sciences (SPSS version 18). In the model return on equity (ROE) was used as
the profitability indicator while non performing loans ratio (NPLR) and capital adequacy ratio
(CAR) as credit risk management indicators.
This study showed that there is a significant relationship between financial performance (in
terms of profitability) and credit risk management (in terms of loan performance and capital
adequacy). The results of the analysis states that both non performing loans ratio (NPLR) and
capital adequacy ratio (CAR) have negative and relatively significant effect on return on equity
(ROE), with NPLR having higher significant effect on ROE in comparison to CAR. Hence, the
regression as whole is significant; this means that NPLR and CAR reliably predict ROE.

▼ Risk management as a component of the internal control mechanism of any organisation is as important as the reason for the existence of that organisation. This is because any organisation without a risk management system in place may as well not be in existence since they may lose the profit and the whole capital together. Every organisation needs to put in place risk management and internal control systems in order to achieve the ultimate objectives of the organisation. This research work sought to examine the implications of risk management, particularly the effectiveness of internal controls as a risk management tool in improving bank performance. Specifically to identify risk associated with providing banking services, to explore the viability of Intercontinental Bank’s internal control systems as risk management tool, to access the impact of internal control as risk management tool on IBG’s performance. The Financial Sector was chosen as according to information from the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning, the financial services sector contributed 56.7 percent by way of total assets to the gross domestic product (GDP) at the end of January 2008. This represented a significant growth from 31.9 percent at the end of December 31, 2005 and the sector is likely to be more prone to risk (Yeboah, 2008). Purposive sampling technique was used in choosing Intercontinental bank as a case study and also the availability of research information was considered. Employees of the bank were surveyed on various internal control mechanisms that must be in operation and their effectiveness. The management of the bank were also interviewed since they are the regulators, implementers and supervisors of those internal control systems. Some of the risk associated with providing banking services identified were: availability of organisational objectives, availability of competent staff, and provision of resources, risk management policies and technology. The findings showed that the bank was doing well in putting all the internal control mechanisms that must be in place and the supervision of the control mechanisms was quite strong. However, their weakest point was the allocations of resources to enable personell perform certain risk sensitive duties like advancing credit to customers in SME (small and Medium Scale) business category. It was recommended that risk management policies of the bank must be updated regularly to avoid them to getting irrelevant with time. Also, the bank must make the effort to resource all departments/units of the bank with the right number of experienced and trained staff for them to be able to carry out their task in a manner that avoids the occurrence of unnecessary risk.

▼ Purpose: This research examined the effectiveness of
risk assessments in an organisational setting and found that
risk assessors may not effectively assess risks and so may not provide the best available information or effective advice to decision makers. However, guidance on the conduct of
risk assessments is scattered across many organisational, economic and technological domains with little consistency in definitions and processes, perhaps contributing to ineffective
risk assessments. This is an area of academic and practical relevance that can be investigated rigorously and has the potential to improve decision making.
Design/methodology: The main research question was:
RQ. Can a generic goal tree, populated with critical success factors and necessary conditions derived from the literature and case studies, be developed that would help decision makers and
risk assessors to evaluate the effectiveness of
risk assessments before they are used to aid a decision?
The research described here used a pragmatist approach to managerial practice and associated practitioner problems related to (1) how effectively
risk assessments informed decision makers before decisions were made; (2) how formal
risk assessments were carried out; and (3) how
risk assessments might be improved. Following a comprehensive literature review, an online survey was used to determine what methods are employed currently, while case studies investigated the conduct of
risk assessments in context. The literature review indicated that
risk has many connotations and diverse definitions and conceptualisations, leading to the conclusion that a given
risk assessment should state the definition of
risk used. The ISO31000 definitions of
risk ("effect of uncertainty on objectives") and
risk assessments were found to be most useful for this research. The online survey of
risk and safety practitioners found little use of structured techniques or consideration of human factors, a finding also reflected in the case studies.
Potential critical success factors and necessary conditions for an effective
risk assessment were identified from the literature review and linked using the Theory of Constraints logic processes to form a tentative goal tree (GT) including the entities and relationships underpinning effective
risk assessment. This also provided a means of structuring and reporting the online survey data, and critiquing a pilot study and five further case studies, and selected professional practice developments.
The case studies explored in detail how
risk assessments were carried out in support of a
management decision. Each case was investigated using document and literature reviews, and structured, one-on-one interviews, including review of the tentative GT by interviewees. Qualitative data from the case studies was analysed using NVivo and quantitative data from the online survey was analysed using SPSS.
Findings: This research demonstrated the ontological and epistemological basis of the GT, justifying it as effective research tool and enquiry system…

▼ Despite well-publicized tragedies and catastrophes regularly occurring at universities, less than half have implemented an integrated approach to the
management of institutional
risk. Without thoroughly understanding their
risk management systems and their states of preparation, universities will continue to be vulnerable to serious events. Specific aims of this research were to compile a set of university
risk management system descriptions, develop a comparative instrument to measure university
risk management system preparedness versus their peer institutions, and assemble a set of good operating practices to provide options for universities to improve their
risk management systems and states of preparation. Ten dimensions of
risk management, derived from the literature review, were created with three questions in each dimension. Interviews with top-tier public research universities were conducted, with data analyzed and compiled in terms of general observations, significant findings, and good operating practices.
Risk Preparedness Index (RPI) scoring criteria were created and each university was scored. The results corroborated the findings of the literature review and demonstrated that integrated institutional
risk management has not been judged to be a priority even at these top-tier public research universities. Chief concerns identified in the research were the chilling effects on robust
risk discussions due to state open meeting laws, the lack of systems thinking, and the lack of process formality which created vulnerability and unsustainable
risk management systems at these top tier public research universities. Through the use of this research and associated results, academic institutions will be able to reduce harmful events to their students and employees, save significant costs of operations, and generate economic gains by preserving their reputations for excellence.

For executive management to guide an enterprise, strategic planning is essential. Using Enterprise Wide Risk Management (EWRM) as an input to Scenario Analysis (SA) for Strategic Planning (SP) allows for improved accuracy over conventional methods. This would allow for greater realism from the executive management perspective of possible outcomes in scenario modelling by providing a solid quantitative base founded on real operational information. Emerging regulatory legislation for corporates also require quantitative risk management in the enterprise for reporting and rating purposes, providing a wealth of information for scenario modelling purposes. From the outset this research focuses on the industrial sectors in South Africa, though the model could be applied to any industry sector internationally. The core of any industrial enterprise is made up of the Operational Support Systems (OSS) that provide the hardware and software infrastructure to operate the business. The smooth operation and efficient handling of any unforeseen events in the OSS impacts the very survival of the en- terprise in a highly competitive environment. The development of an OSS risk management (RM) strategy to provide an efficient and effective way to recognise, classify and mitigate the risks involved in OSS is thus crucial to any enterprise that seeks to remain competitive. To implement this RM strategy and provide information regarding likely loss events, a quantitative risk model is required to simulate different scenarios. This research investigates the development of a Sector Wide Risk Model (SWRM) to simulate stress events in an industry sector and their impact on sector members.

▼ Within projects, there are a lot of elements that change. Change leads to uncertainty, and as a result, risks appear. A lot of projects fail due to uncertainty and risks. Especially complex projects are more vulnerable to risks (Hertogh & Westerveld, 2010). Complex projects are seen as large projects with long time schedules, multi-ownership, involving substantial resources, significant political issues and significant novelty (Chapman & Ward, 1997). The root causes of project related risks are mostly part of the organizational dynamics and multidisciplinary nature of the business´ organization (Thamhain, 2013). For this reason, risk management becomes important, which is especially crucial in technology-based projects. Risk management must be seen as an ongoing review process in the whole Project Life Cycle (Thamhain, 2013). Chapman and Ward (1997) stated already in 1997 that risk management must be a core process within the strategic management of any business or organization. No matter the size, the activity, or the sector. Risk management has the aim to reduce risks (Nicholas & Steyn, 2012). Widely, a lot of research is performed to risk management standards. These standards give hands on managing risks and are mostly described in an abstract way as it must be applicable to all projects. The general risk management standards that are defined in literature are implemented in all mature risk management organizations in extreme complex projects to manage risks (Caño & Cruz, 2002). Risk management is a process that should be integrated within project management (Nicholas & Steyn, 2012; Zou, Chen, & Chan, 2010). It is widely recognized by leading project management institutions that risk management should be an integral part of the project management (Caño & Cruz, 2002). While making risk management an integral part of project management, it is necessary that risk management must be adopted by the project management approach. Risk management is not just a management tool that can be added besides the project management but it must be part of the project management (Chapman and Ward, 1997).

▼ Project
risk management is currently used in several industries and mandated by government acquisition agencies around the world to manage uncertainty in an effort to improve a project's probability of success. Common practice involves developing a list of
risk items scored with probability and consequence ordinal scales by committee usually focusing on cost and schedule issues. A scenario based process modeling construct is introduced using a hybrid Probabilistic
Risk Assessment and Decision Analysis framework integrating project development risks with operational system risks. Project
management's decisions are explicitly modeled and ranked based on
risk importance to the project. Multiple consequence attributes are unified providing a basis for computing total project
risk. This study shows that such an approach leads to an analysis system where scenarios tracing
risk items to many possible consequences are explicitly understood; the interaction between cost, schedule, and performance models drive the analysis; probabilities for overruns, delays, increased system hazards are determined directly; and state-of-the-art quantification techniques are directly applicable. All these enhance project
management's capability to respond with more effective decisions.

▼ M.Comm.
Every modern-day company is faced with challenges on a daily basis to improve its performance. This challenge stretches further than the financial target that is received from the shareholders every year and boils right down to the day to day operations of a company. How does the company perform according to the market, does the company have a uniqueness that will allow for a competitive advantage, how can costs be reduced in order to create value in terms of shareholders and how to stay the blueprint company with its competitors seen as followers. The objective of this study is to determine the effect that financial risk management in terms of a cell captive insurance facility has on a company, especially the financial side and ultimately to provide a framework on the implementation of a cell captive insurance facility. A cell captive insurance facility stems from the self insurance principle and is tailored to a unique product offered by various insurance companies. It enables a company to insure its frequent losses at a lower premium than the insurance market and all surpluses resulting from the Captive can be regarded as profit to the owner of the captive or used to lower the following year's contribution. In order to obtain a Cell Captive's insurance facility, a company must purchase shares in an insurance company, known as a sponsor, and hereby receive certain insurance amenities. The captive that is now formed enables a company to insure all business related activities against possible risks with a further extension of the definition 'business related activities'. Due to the unlikely event to completely self insure, with regards to the cost implication and bearing the size of the captive in mind to cover all possible financial losses, an underwritten agreement between the cell captive owner and the sponsor insurance company should cater for all catastrophic risks which protects the captive from collapsing, due to a massive loss. With the creation of a cell captive insurance facility, the owner of the captive can extend on all its business related activities and offer insurance products to its employees and clients, with a reasonably reduce rate compared to the insurance market. The success of theses products can be so-good that the financial impact on the captive proofs the products to be self-reliant and even generates an income for the cell captive insurance facility. As a result of the objective to implement effective risk management via a cell captive insurance facility and to create profit by doing so, the results of the Vodacom Group was used in order to emphasize the successfulness of a cell captive insurance facility. Vodacom Group saved or rather refer to the term as "created" a net underwriting profit that amounts to R 3,385,275 in the first three months by using its Cell Captive Insurance Facility. Thats more than enough to prove the financial gain, but the company also benefited from the fact that it now has the ability to educate its managers and their management styles. The captive can…

▼ Financial risk management is considered by researchers as a yard stick for determining failure or success of a financial institution. It has not been given much attention in recent times. This research work sought to bring to light the need for financial institutions to pay attention to the management of risk. It is obvious that the aim of every business is to maximize shareholders wealth and acquire substantial profit either for expansion or to undertake new product development. Across the banking industry, the most prominent area that erodes the mass of their profit is risk management (credit, market and operational). The objective of this study was to analyse the effect of financial risk management on the financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya. The study analyzed the current financial risk management practices of the 44 commercial banks licensed in Kenya. The researcher adopted descriptive research design and ROA which represents financial performance was averaged for 6 years (2008-2013). The study was based mainly on secondary data which was collected from the annual reports of commercial banks. The researcher in her analysis used multiple regression analysis models which were presented in the form of tables and regression equation. The findings of the study showed that there is a significant relationship between financial performance and financial risk management. The results of the analysis indicates that non performing loans ratio (NPLR) has a strong correlation with ROA and both cash to deposit ratio and current ratio have a weak correlation with ROA. Hence, the regression as whole is significant meaning that NPLR, Current Ratio and Cash to deposit ratio reliably predict ROA. The study recommends that banks should manage risks involved during their operations to minimize potential risks and losses involved and that dividends paid to shareholders should be well managed to maximize the profits. It also recommends that banks should develop strategies to manage risks involved during their operations

▼ The study sought to determine the effects of financial risk management on financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya. This study adopted a descriptive research design to test the hypothesis over the five year period (2011 to 2015). The population for this study was the 43 commercial banks in Kenya, as at 31st December 2015 including the one that was put under receivership during that financial year. The banks had an aggregate total asset base of Kshs 3.6 trillion and recorded a profit before tax of Kshs 76.7billion as at June 2015. Secondary data from audited financial statements of the 43 commercial banks was collected for the five years period. The central bank requires all banks to publish their audited financial statements publicly on an annual basis. This research employed descriptive statistics to analyze the data collected. The findings of the study indicated that all banks were performing well. There were however big variations in their performance with some posting very high ROA compared to others. The study also found that on predictors of financial performance the variables that had significant influence on each other were bank deposits and liquidity risk (P=0.00), Bank deposit and capital management risk (P=0.031), bank deposit and interest rate risk (P=0.000), liquidity risk and capital management risk (P=0.013), Liquidity risk and bank size (P=0.001), capital management risk and Bank size (P=0.000), capital management Risk and interest rate risk (P=0.046). The study however concluded that the credit risk and foreign exchange risk did not have any significant correlation with any of the variable with (P>0.05). The study concluded that the predictor variables that had an influence on the ROA of the banks were bank deposit with a (P=0.000) and liquidity risk with (P=0.030) while the other predicator variables did not have a significant interest with all having a P>0.05. These include the Credit Risk, capital management risk, bank size and foreign exchange risk. The study found out that as the bank deposits increase the performance of the bank increase, the relationship of the two is infinite, the more it increases the better the bank performs, however banks have an optimal liquidity and when the firm exceeds that point, the performance drops. The banks should ensure that they keep the liquidity at the optimal level. The study recommends that a research should be done on relationship between financial risk management and financial performance of Micro Finance Institution in Kenya and the study recommends that a study should be done on the challenge facing commercial banks in Kenya in management of financial risk management.

▼ Pension Schemes are the main sources of retirement income for millions of people in the world. Pension Schemes are also important contributors to the gross domestic product (GDP) of countries. This study focuses on pension Schemes in Kenya. Retirement income accounts for 68% of the total income of retirees in Kenya, while pension assets account for 30% of Kenya’s GDP. It is therefore important risk management practices of pension Schemes be managed effectively, not only in Kenya, but also in other countries. The primary objective of the study is to determine the effect of risk management practices to performance of Pension schemes in Kenya. More specifically, the study explores the effect risk management environment, risk measurement; risk mitigation and Internal Controls had positive effects on the performance of pension schemes in Kenya. A sample of 64 pension Schemes was drawn from the Kenyan Retirement Benefits Authority (RBA) register. The sample selection was based on the criterion that these pension funds should have been in existence within the period 2009 to 2013.This study used empirical design to investigate how pension scheme risks management practices affect performance of pension schemes by use of Sharpe Ratio. . Eighty (80) questionnaires were mailed to the trustees of these pension schemes. Sixty four (64) usable questionnaires were returned, which translated into a response rate of 80 per cent and historical monthly performance or returns data for all investments used i.e. fixed income, equities and offshore. Risk adjustment measures of Standard Deviation and Sharpe Ratio were applied to test the riskiness of the investments. Analysis of the data collected was summarised using tables in order to derive the study findings. Accordingly, the study viewed risk-returns in terms of the ratios and returns as per the sectors in investments for Pensions Funds in 64 schemes in Kenya. The initial analysis showed that there is a link between the asset allocation and risk factor at all the schemes with a high mean of 1.64%. However, the difference in returns for the various schemes seems to be insignificant. This implies that the assumed risks by policy makers might not have existed, but to be sure of the relationship between risk return and decision making, the regression results were clearly indicative that the variables can be linked. The study concludes that investment decisions should be based on the best estimates of as it remains a factor in the calculation of returns and is therefore prudent to use risk measures such as Sharpe Ratio in making investment decisions. Policy makers such as RBA, CMA, CBK and Ministry of Finance should review impact of risk on market development.

▼ Credit risk is on an increasing rate is becoming an area of concern to many people and
institutions in the lending business globally. This kind of exposure leads to instability and
poor financial performance of financial institutions. Therefore, this research sought to
evaluate the effect of credit risk management on the financial performance of DTMs and
non-deposit taking MFIs in Kenya. The research design exploited descriptive research
design in this research as it draws in a comprehensive analysis of credit risk management
and its correlation with financial performance in micro finance institutions. Secondary
data gathered from microfinance institutions yearly reports (2011- 2015) was utilized.
The study population was 13 microfinance institutions licensed by CBK and 22 nondeposit
taking MFIs, though data was attained from 27 MFIs. The data collected was
subjected to a multiple regression analysis, correlation, and ANOVA. In the analysis,
ROE was used as a profitability indicator whereas PAR 30 was a measure of credit risk.
This study depicted that there is a considerable correlation involving financial
performance and credit risk management. From the model, the ROE (Financial
performance) was 10.676 when other factors (Credit risk, Liquidity risk and Interest rate
risk) are held constant. A unit increase in credit risk holding other factors constant results
in a 2.165 decrease in the return on equity (ROE). Additionally, a unit increase in
liquidity risk results in a 0.224 increase in the return on equity other factors held constant.
Finally, from the model, when other factors are held constant, (Credit Risk and Liquidity
risk), a unit increase in the central bank of Kenya interest rates results in a decrease in the
ROE of the microfinance institutions by 0.518. The credit risk and interest risk were the
most significant variables as their p-values were less than 0.05. The study recommends
that the Mfis in Kenya must pay constant attention to credit risk being a major risk to
NPLs. Secondly; CBK needs to come up with strong regulations on the unregulated nondeposit
making MFIs. Thirdly, the regulators must come up with adequate capital
adequacy requirements to shield the MFIs from financial risks. Further research needs to
be done on the effects of absence of regulations on the MFIs in Kenya.

▼ In the SACCO subsector the subject of credit risk administration cannot be underestimated due to the observed levels of loan default resulting from the mode of doing business which solely relies on guarantor ship as security for loans granted. This study was undertaken with the objective of establishing whether there exists a relationship between credit risk management practices and financial performance of deposit taking savings and credit co-operative societies in Kenya. A sample of 60 deposit taking SACCOs was selected using random sampling method, the study data was extracted from audited financial statements and reports as published by SASRA in its annual supervision reports for the period 2011 to 2015.The study adopted a descriptive research design and used CAMELS rating model as determinants (as independent variables) of financial performance of deposit taking SACCOs.The data was analyzed using multiple linear regression and correlation, the results were interpreted based on R-squared, Adjusted R-squared. Test of signifance (F) was done through Analysis of Variance, coefficients of independent variables and their P-values. The analyzed results showed a positive relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variables.

▼ Businesses today are faced with greater challenges and complications than ever before
as economical, technological and legal interdependence become more common and
pronounced. Due to these developments, risks may go unidentified for too long and
early warning indicators ignored. In light of this, this study seeks to establish the
operations risk management practices commonly used and determine the relationship
between operations risk management practices and service delivery among Government
Owned Entities in Kenya. The study adopted a descriptive survey design and the
population of study was from Government owned entities in Kenya. The study selected
respondents using simple random sampling technique. The data was collected using
questionnaires that were administered to employees. The collected data was coded and
analyzed in Excel (2007) program. The analysis involved the use of descriptive
statistics; tables and pie charts.
The study found that GOEs have embraced operational risk management practices and
commonly used practices include risk control self assessment, identification of key risk
indicators and compliance to rules and regulations. Lack of full support and enough
resources to support operational risk management practices was identified as existing
challenge. Board oversight, periodic audits, tracking of mitigations, existence of
operation risk management strategy and oversight by parent/line ministry are some of
the activities that help GOEs in managing operations risks. These practices also
influence service delivery at different levels. It was established that operation risk
management self assessment has a positive significant effect on service delivery as
indicated by a beta coefficient of 0.566. The study further, found that operation risk
indicators identification practices has a positive insignificant influence on service
delivery. Finally, the results indicated that Operational Risk Rules and Regulations have
a positive significant influence on service delivery.

▼ Malaysia Convention & Exhibition Bureau (MyCEB) reported MICE or Meetings,
Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions industry estimated to have economic impact
of RM17.6 billion to the country as well as providing a total of 8,036 job
opportunities for Malaysians. Currently, Malaysia has become one of the preferred
destinations for MICE events. Consequently there is a significant need for managing
and organizing MICE events so that they run smoothly and achieve the goals set.
Thus, it is crucial to identify the Critical Success Factors (CSF) in organizing a
MICE event. The study is primarily aimed at determining the Critical Success
Factors in MICE event management. The study was conducted using qualitative
approach and supported with quantitative approach. Through this approach, the
Delphi technique has been adopted and a total of two (2) rounds of data collection
was performed. Semi-structured interview technique was used in this study to get
feedback fkom 15 MICE event managers. The study had identified six (6) CSF for a
successful MICE event management, these factors are: clear objectives, location of
venue, financial resources, code of conduct, marketing & promotion and event
sponsorship. This study is expected to help the parties involved in event management
to focus and pay attention to the six (6) critical success factors mentioned above for a
successful MICE event management.

▼ Stakeholders are consistently pressurizing manufacturers to integrate the social and
environmental factors within their production process to protect the society and
environment from the negative effects of the manufacturing process As a result,
manufacturing processes experience continuous adaptation that significantly reshaped
employee work practices. The literature on identification of the employee work
practice that can enhance sustainable manufacturing performance is limited. Literature
identified employee empowerment practice not only enhances sustainable
manufacturing performance (SMP), but also the quality of work life (QWL). However,
few studies have attempted to empirically test the relationship between the employee
empowerment, quality of work life and sustainable manufacturing performance. The
current study focused on the investigation of the relationship between employee
empowerment and sustainable manufacturing performance, and the mediating role of
the quality of work life was also investigated. Sustainable manufacturing performance
was measured on the basis of social, economic and environmental dimensions. A
quantitative research design was used to address the problem. A systmatic random
sample of 200 employees from 30 large manufacturers in Malaysia was used to collect
data on a 5-point likert scale adapted questionnaire. Furthermore, this data was
statistically tested using Smart PLS (SEM) for empirical investigations of the
relationships between employee empowerment, quality of work life and sustainable
manufacturing performance. The result confirmed the positive relationship between
employee empowerment and sustainable manufacturing performance and the
mediating role of quality of work life between the relationship of employee
empowerment and sustainable manufacturing performance. In conclusion studt
recomends organizations to encourage employees to be involved in the decision
making process regarding social, economic and environmental factors in order to
enhance sustainable manufacturing performance and their quality of work life.

▼ Risk plays an important role in project management, thus risks management is indeed a significant key issue in project management, even without exception for Public Private Partnership (PPP) project. Moreover, the identification and the management of risks are some essential aspects in PPP processes. In addition, due to the lack of PPP experience, as well as expertise in many countries and regions, identifying and managing risks are decisive to the success of PPPs. Therefore, in order to achieve the research aim, three objectives were outlined in this study; 1) To identify the common risks for PPP construction projects; 2) To determine risk ranking and significant risk factors for PPP infrastructure projects in Malaysia, and; 3) To determine the impact of the risk factors of PPP infrastructure project in Malaysia towards successful delivery. The scope of this study focused on the identification and the assessment of risk factors. Apart from that, data collection was carried out by using structured questionnaire, which was designed based on the findings from literature review. Besides, pilot study was conducted based on the opinions gathered from 11 experts involved in the construction industry, as well as PPP researchers, to improve the questionnaire. The questionnaire survey was carried out among both the public and the private sectors that were involved in the construction industry. A total of 36 sets of completed questionnaires were received. The data were analysed statistically with Risk Significance Index approach, and via Partial Least Square (PLS) Path Modelling. The findings retrieved from the Risk Significance Analysis showed that the five most significant risk factors are construction cost overruns, construction time delay, availability of skilled labour, corruption, and geotechnical conditions. Meanwhile, from from the PLS Path Modelling analysis, finance group give the highest variance value which is 0.506. Therefore, finance related risk factors give the impact towards PPP infrastructure project in Malaysia towards successful delivery. Furthermore, the Global Fit Index (GoF) of the model depicted 0.79, which meant that the developed model had enough explaining power in describing the causal relationship between the risk factor and the success of PPP. Hence, this study provide a broader view pertaining to the common risk factor as far as the Malaysian PPP infrastructure is concerned.

▼ This thesis consists of two essays. In the first essay I try to explain why risk managers exist and provide a reason for risk management failure. Banks rely on risk managers to prevent their employees from making high risk low value investments. Why can't the CEOs directly incentivize their employees to choose the most profitable investment? I show that having a separate risk manager is more profitable for banks and is also socially efficient. This is because there is conflict between proving incentive to choose the most profitable investment and providing incentives to exert effort on those investments. Hence, if the tasks are split between a risk manager who approves the investments and a loan officer (or trader) who exerts effort, then both optimal investment choice and optimal effort can be achieved. I further examine some reasons for risk management failure wherein a CEO may ignore the risk manager when the latter is risk averse and suggests safe investments. As is usually the case before a financial crisis, my model predicts that the CEO is more likely to ignore the risk manager when the risky investments are yielding higher profits. The second essay studies the impact of expectation of bailout of a credit insurance firm on the investment strategies of the counterparty banks. If the failure of credit insurance firm may result in the bankruptcy of its counterparty banks, then the regulator will be forced to bail it out. This imperfectly targeted time inconsistent policy incentivizes the banks to make correlated investments ex ante. All banks want their assets to fail exactly at the time when the bailout is occurring to indirectly benefit from the bailout of the insurance firm and hence they make correlated investments. I build a model in which correlated investment by banks, under priced insurance contracts and a systemically important insurance firm arise endogenously and show that while credit insurance helps in risk sharing during good times, it can also create systemic risk. I also show that putting a limit on size of insurance firm can mitigate this problem.

▼ Thalidomide is a highly teratogenic medicine and an
effective frontline treatment for multiple myeloma when used in
combination with other therapeutic agents. The global burden of
multiple myeloma has been steadily increasing over the last decade,
with the most significant rise being in middle and low
sociodemographic index countries. The increasing burden of multiple
myeloma poses particular concerns regarding the safe use of
thalidomide and the need for
risk management programmes to prevent
foetal exposure. Evidence suggests that the effectiveness of
risk
management programmes for thalidomide has not been extensively
investigated in spite of the serious risks of the medicine. Such
lack of research on the
risk management of thalidomide is of
particular significance in countries where the incidence of
multiple myeloma is increasing. Consequently, the programme of
research presented in this thesis focuses on understanding the
risk
management of thalidomide in Jordan, a middle income country in
which the burden of multiple myeloma has shown a recent increase.
Two empirical studies were carried out in this programme of
research to address the aim of understanding the
risk management of
thalidomide in Jordan and identify affecting factors within the
Jordanian health system. The first study was informed by findings
from a systematic review of the literature on teratogenic
risk
management that was carried out as the initial step in this
programme of research. The systematic review found a lack of
research on
risk management of thalidomide, particularly in
countries of the Middle East. It also found variation in the
reported use of teratogenic
risk management measures which included
reporting low levels of adherence to these measures. While this
might constitute a significant medicine safety concern, it may be
the result of using data sources that might have been unable to
generate complete data. Therefore, the review concluded by
highlighting the need for future research to investigate multiple
sources to confirm consistency of the obtained findings on the use
of teratogenic
risk management. Therefore, the first study of this
programme of research utilised primary data reported by patients
through filling a questionnaire and secondary data extracted from
medical records to investigate
risk management of thalidomide in
Jordan. The cross-sectional study aimed to profile the
characteristics of patients using thalidomide in Jordan and
describe patients' use of teratogenic
risk management measures
using quantitative methods. Subsequently, the second study sought
to contextualise findings by exploring those factors within the
health system that have an effect on
risk management using
qualitative methods. This was achieved by applying the World Health
Organization's (WHO) health systems framework to explore the
experiences and views of patients, industry, drug regulators, and
health care professionals of
risk management of thalidomide in
Jordan. Findings of this programme of research show that that
