The survey, which was conducted in January using risk officers and directors at banks with more than $5 billion in assets, said 91 percent of those surveyed reported an increase in time devoted to risk management issues within board meetings over the last three years.

Seventy-two percent of risk officers and 63 percent of directors report that this time has doubled or tripled.
