Riskhantering är ett viktigt kompetensområde, samt ett av huvudämnena vid forskning inom projektledning. Riskhanteringsprocessen består av tre principiella steg: identifiera risker och möjligheter, bedöma riskerna utifrån deras betydelse för projektet, samt att reagera och bemöta de viktigaste riskerna. Riskhantering är av extra stor vikt vid ledning av anläggningsprojekt och projekt som innefattar flera organisationer eller entreprenörer. Detta beror på att osäkerheten, exempelvis inom områden som ansvarsfördelning, kommunikation, koordination och kontroll, ökar i projekt med flera aktörer. Formaliserade riskhanteringsprocesser är ovanliga och vidare studier krävs för att utveckla Best practice inom riskhantering, samt att anpassa projektledningsmetoder efter olika projekttyper.

Med den utgångspunkten grundar sig studien i att studera och identifiera de nya förutsättningarna på revisionsmarknaden efter att revisionsplikten avskaffats.Metod: Uppsatsen är inriktad i ett kvalitativt perspektiv. Empirin som samlats in via personliga intervjuer utgår från teori om revisionspliktens avskaffande, från Europanivå till den svenska lagen, för att sedan mynna ut i en analys och en slutsats.Resultat & slutsats: Undersökningen påvisar att såväl större som mindre revisionsbyråer har haft kundförluster, men bara i enstaka fall och har inte påverkat byråerna i någon större utsträckning. Studien är för tidigt ute för att se någon radikal förändring. .
