    Risk Landscape

    Report - May 2026

    Today’s risk landscape remains complex, interconnected and shaped by ongoing external pressures.

    The Top Risk Review H1 2026 brings together industry perspectives on the most material risks facing financial services firms today. Based on input from risk professionals across our global membership, this study provides a clear view of current risk priorities and how they are evolving.

    The study explores current risk priorities, emerging themes and the drivers influencing how firms assess and manage risk. It also looks at how challenges such as data quality, AI adoption, resilience and cross‑cutting risks are testing traditional approaches to risk management.

    Available to ORX members and ORX Lite subscribers, the Top Risk Review includes detailed risk rankings, sector and regional perspectives, and in‑depth analysis of how firms are responding — including practical management actions, top risks in focus and a deep dive into data‑related risks.
