Corporate risk-management practices in Slovenian companies

The paper presents the original research results on the corporate risk-management practices in the large Slovenian non-financial companies. The implementation of different risk-management strategies and the use of risk-management instruments are thoroughly investigated, primarily through a survey of risk-management practitioners. The survey has revealed that the vast majority of analysed companies are using some form of interest rate, foreign exchange or commodity price risk-management and those companies are highly influenced by the price risk, whilst currently and interest-rate risk exposures have lower impact on their performance. Companies quite often do not have documented their policies and often are just following the flow and practice fashion.
