Sažetak

Over the last few decades, corporate risk management has become a very important element of management to financial and non-financial companies. In the modern business environment every company is exposed to corporate risk. It can be said that the way to deal with the corporate risk has become a crucial competitive advantage for enterprises in all industry sectors. Reducing the impact of corporate risks such as financial risks, operational risks, strategic and hazardous risks, companies can reduce the volatility of cash flows, thus reducing the expected costs of financial difficulties and agency costs and increase the present value of expected future cash flows. Also, by reducing the volatility of cash flows company increases the likelihood of securing sufficient quantities of its own funds for planned investments, eliminating the need to cut profitable projects or bear the transaction costs of expensive external financing.

The paper presents the results of research on the practice of corporate risk management in large non-financial companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Data on corporate risk management were collected using a questionnaire. The questionnaire was sent to 120 companies from Bosnia and Herzegovina, where 66 companies provided the required answers to the questions on the basis of which is ultimately formed variable risk that indicates the level of implementation of corporate risk management. Based on the study on the management of corporate risk in Bosnia and Herzegovina it can been concluded that most of the analyzed companies manage corporate risk, at least in certain segments. The largest number of companies actively controls only part of the overall exposure to corporate risk, or are considering the implementation of the complete process of corporate risk management. However, there are still a significant number of companies do not even manage corporate risk, and with them the risk management is primarily a result of occurred events. Although most of the observed companies monitor risks, it is worth pointing out that even 32% of the companies do not elucidate the risk tolerance, and even 45% of companies did not quantify the risks.
