Abstract:
Worldwide, the healthcare industry aims to provide better health for all. However, fraud risk has become a threat to industries and organisations, including the healthcare industry. In the South African healthcare industry, it has been found that losses due to fraud risk amounted up to R8 billion per year. The purpose of this article was to explore the management of fraud risk within the South African private hospital industry and how this is managed. Primary data was collected by means of a survey, which involved management staff at head office level and at hospital level. The findings sugges

Abstract:
Risk management is becoming an important management discipline for most organisations including petroleum, oil and gas companies. However, before risks can actually be managed, it is imperative to ensure that a risk management framework is embedded. This research aims to research the general approach to a risk management process for a typical petroleum, oil and gas company operating in the South African industry and to determine the primary risk types for such a company. The result of this research could serve as an awareness instrument for petroleum, oil and gas industries to support and esta

Abstract:
An international agenda has evolved over the past decade to establish hard and soft rules to govern the impacts of the extractive industries. The international community and some resource-rich states have increasingly embraced norms such as transparency in resource governance. This paper explores how multi-stakeholder initiatives such as the Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (EITI) and the Publish What You Pay (PWYP) campaign have sought to institutionalize transparency in resource governance. By exploring how, why, and to what effect transparency in resource governance has taken hol

Abstract:
Political risk factors are of prime importance to business operations around the world, as they may impact negatively on the financial performance thereof and may even lead to the financial failure of enterprises and industries. As political risk factors are often abundant in developing countries with emerging market economies, this study is undertaken in South Africa which is classified accordingly. The objective of this research focuses on the improvement of financial decision-making concerning the sources, analysis and insurance flexibility of political risk factors. To achieve the objectiv

Abstract:
Political risk factors often impact negatively on the financial results of an enterprise, industry, geographical region or an entire country. In severe cases they may even lead to financial disasters. Previous research (by Essel) identified 10 specific political risk factors which are common to emerging market economies. As South Africa is a developing country with an emerging market economy, these 10 political risk factors should also be present in this country.

Ethical and legal decisions are made daily by healthcare professionals and personnel in the performance of their regular duties.

Various underwriting factors pertaining to the owner of the property, the characteristics of the assets which are considered, and the risks involved with the property concerned should be evaluated by short-term insurers when underwriting property insurance.

Projects are a series of unique activities defined in order to achieve a unique goal. Before implementation, project activities to be conducted in future are predicted and the initial timetable of the project is prepared. Given the fact that future is vague and unclear, risks and uncertainties will inevitably exist in the implementation of projects because human is unable to precisely foresee the future. Projects are planned according to estimations obtained from little information about the future conditions of projects. Considering the fact that the planning involve uncertainty, time delays

Abstract:
Contracts have emerged as an appropriate expanse for the application of Blockchain to eliminate human mediation perceived to be mired by weaknesses. Smart contracts date back to the 1990s, but the proposed Blockchain technology makes it a great force economically. Beyond the transactional processing qualities of blockchain, industries envisage the technology to resolve divergent human-related complications with traditional contracts. Per literature, smart contracts offer superior economic value with respect to legality, formation, deployment, execution, and cost. These qualities of smart contract ensure performance and eliminate risk. Criticised on the inhumane aspect of the technology in terms of contract amendments and the current influx of foreign-based blockchain companies in Africa limiting indigenous design considerations, the application of smart contracts in continent could be hindered by contract renegotiations strongly embedded in cultural values of empathy. Nonetheless, a trade-off would resolve the contractual bottlenecks in Africa.
