New development: Enabling enterprise risk management maturity in public sector organizations

Abstract

Public sector reforms have led to risk management gaining prominence as a means for effective service delivery and a tool for accountability. The public sector has seen regulatory changes intended to empower managers to engage in appropriate risk management practices. The authors present a framework for effective enterprise-level risk management in public sector organizations. The framework includes three essential enablers of risk management and provides conceptualizations for guiding future empirical research.
