  • Enterprise Risk Management in the Oil and Gas Industry: an Analysis of Selected Fortune 500 Oil and Gas Companies’ Reaction in 2009 and 2010 Violet C
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Clute Institute: Journals American Journal of Business Education – First Quarter 2016 Volume 9, Number 1 Enterprise Risk Management In The Oil And Gas Industry: An Analysis Of Selected Fortune 500 Oil And Gas Companies’ Reaction In 2009 And 2010 Violet C. Rogers, Stephen F. Austin State University, USA Jack R. Ethridge, Stephen F. Austin State University, USA ABSTRACT1 In 2009, four of the top ten Fortune 500 companies were classified within the oil and gas industry. Organizations of this size typically have an advanced Enterprise Risk Management system in place to mitigate risk and to achieve their corporations’ objectives. The companies and the article utilize the Enterprise Risk Management Integrated Framework developed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) as a guide to organize their risk management and reporting. The authors used the framework to analyze reporting years 2009 and 2010 for Fortune 500 oil and gas companies. After gathering and examining information from 2009 and 2010 annual reports, 10-K filings, and proxy statements, the article examines how the selected companies are implementing requirements identified in the previously mentioned publications. Each section examines the companies’ Enterprise Risk Management system, risk appetite, and any other notable information regarding risk management. One observation was the existence or non-existence of a Chief Risk Officer or other Senior Level Manager in charge of risk management. Other observations included identified risks, such as changes in economic, regulatory, and political environments in the different countries where the corporations do business.
