What is it about?

This study looks at how companies in emerging markets, especially in the Indian insurance sector, handle risk reporting. It shows that many firms focus mainly on meeting regulatory requirements and often miss using risk reports for strategic decision-making. The research introduces a Dual Risk Reporting Framework that helps companies report risks in a way that meets compliance rules while also supporting better internal planning and learning, making risk management more effective and responsible.

Why is it important?

Risk reporting is often seen as just a regulatory requirement, rather than a tool to guide better decisions. By showing how companies can combine compliance with strategic thinking, it highlights a way to make risk management more meaningful and useful. In doing so, it helps organizations not only meet rules but also learn, adapt, and protect themselves against future challenges

Perspectives

I’ve seen many organizations treat risk reporting as a checkbox exercise, missing the bigger picture. What excites me about this research is how it shows that with the right framework, risk reports can become a powerful tool for learning, decision-making, and building a stronger, more resilient organization.
