According to a recent [report](http://www.webcpa.com/news/-55529-1.html?ET=webcpa:e1016:160969a:&st=email&utm_source=editorial&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WebCPA_Daily_090910), over half of all US-based companies do not have an enterprise-wide risk management process in place and do not have plans for implementing one.
