Aon Corporation has released the findings of its 2009 Global Risk Management Survey. Respondents from over 500 organizations in 40 countries had their say about the top ten risks to their business sector.

The economic slowdown topped the list, with a 60 percent reported readiness by respondents. Next, regulatory and legislative changes and business interruption have business owners worried.

Increasing competition, commodity price risk and cash flow and liquidity risk are all risk factors ranked in the top ten this year, in spite of not making the list at all in 2007.

Aon said that compared to 2007, most organizations have increased their overall risk preparedness but less than half of the respondents say that they are tracking and managing all components of their total cost of insurance risk.
