Abstract "The objective of this paper is to explore how the board composition is related to the degree of enterprise risk management implementation. Our main results reveal that the position of the CEO in the board has an important influence on the level of ERM. Furthermore, we find that board independence by itself is not sufficient to induce higher levels of ERM. Board independence is only significantly related to ERM when there is a separation of CEO and chairman. Firms with an independent board and a separation of CEO and chairman show the highest level of ERM. One possible explanation for our results is that CEOs do not favour ERM implementation and are able to withstand pressure from the board when they are occupying the seat of chairman."
