  • 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.

  • INSIGHT-The Changing Headquarters Landscape for Fortune Global 500
    11/15/2019 INSIGHT: The Changing Headquarters Landscape for Fortune Global 500 Companies Daily Tax Report: State INSIGHT: The Changing Headquarters Landscape for Fortune Global 500 Companies By Brandon Pizzola, Robert Carroll, and James Mackie III Nov. 15, 2019, 3:01 AM The headquarters of the world’s largest companies by revenue continue to shift away from the U.S. Brandon Pizzola, Robert Carroll, and James Mackie III of EY’s Quantitative Economics and Statistics group analyze the latest statistics. Bloomberg Law News 2019-11-15T13:46:56242-05:00 2019-11-15T03:01:12000-05:00 The headquarters of the world’s largest companies by revenue continue to shift away from the U.S. and other G7 countries, driven largely by China’s growth in the world economy. Specifically, the number of Fortune Global 500 (FG500) companies–the 500 largest companies by revenue in the world—that are headquartered in the G7 (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the U.K. and the U.S.), declined from 420 in 2000 to 269 in 2019. A significant driver of the FG500 changes in headquarters locations is the growing presence of China. Between 2000 and 2019, the number of FG500 companies with their headquarters in China grew from 10 to 119. Much of this is due to the growth of China’s state-owned enterprises (SOEs), 82 of which were in the FG500 in 2019 compared to 9 in 2000. Many factors can affect a company’s choice of headquarters location, such as a country’s regional economic growth and stability, local infrastructure, regulatory environment, labor availability and productivity, transportation and other input costs, and tax policies.

AMERICANS HAVE BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO RIP-ROARING RECOVERIES FROM RECESSION, BUT THAT DID NOT HAPPEN THIS TIME, ALTHOUGH THE ECONOMY HAS NOT BEEN IN RECESSION SINCE 2009. BuT IF ORDINARY AMERICANS ARE STRUGGLING WITH JOB WORRIES, RISING HEALTHCARE COSTS, AND DANGEROUSLY HIGH LEVELS OF HOUSEHOLD DEBT, THE BIGGEST COMPANIES IN THE UNITED STATES— THE famED FORTUNE 500—HAVE NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD.

Walmart, which held the top spot the previous two years, fell to second on the list, with revenues of $447 billion. They’re in good shape. A lot of that has to do with magazine the fact man Exxon Mobil earned $41.1 billion in profits, compared to that they’ve cut back. They’ve cut costs during the downturn, - meaning layoffs quite frankly. That’s why profits are so high.” Walmart’s $15.7 billion. Well, that’s not the only reason.
