This research paper examines whether the enterprise risk management (ERM) practices can create value to Malaysian public listed companies (PLCs) in Malaysia. The sample consists of 417 PLCs in Malaysia.The analysis focuses on the companies’ financial characteristics by using stepwise multiple regressions.This research ventures into understanding the influence of financial ratios and risk management on shareholders wealth.The findings show that return on equity, opacity, debt over asset, operating margin, cost of financing and taxation, and financial slack are significant for financial companies.While, only return on asset is significant for financial companies.This is could be due to the nature of financial companies that are highly regulated.
