5th Annual Conference on Risk Governance | American Finance Association | 5 October 2017 | Siegen, Germany

Since 2013, risk governance has been a major research focus at the University of Siegen, a topic concerning the sustainable, strategic directing of risks that adds value to the corporate functions of risk management, internal auditing, compliance, and corporate governance. The past four annual conferences on risk governance have discussed and further developed the relevance of risk governance at the corporate level.

The 5th Annual Conference on Risk Governance at the University of Siegen is scheduled for October 5–6, 2017. Researchers and practitioners are again cordially invited to submit proposals for presentations at the conference. The general theme of this year’s conference is “Roles and Actors in Risk Governance.” In 2017, the conference will be associated with a special issue of the Journal of Risk Finance, which will also focus on “Roles and Actors in Risk Governance.”

This special issue’s call for papers can be found at: http://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/products/journals/call_for_papers.htm?id=6991.

Manuscripts not disclosing the identities of their authors can be submitted to the conference, to the special issue, or to both. Thus, participation at the conference is not required for submission to the special issue. More information on risk governance research at the University of Siegen is at: http://www.riskgovernance.de/.

The first day of the conference will presumably focus on topics with strong links to practice, while the second day of the conference will be more research-focused.
