Risk

Enterprise Risk Management goes beyond compliance and avoidance of surprises. Its value lies in better business performance and more efficient use of capital. Robust information about the company’s risk exposures and their relative weights enable taking strategic decisions that maximize opportunities within the defined risk appetite. Risk exposures would include:

• Operational risks that are concerned with people and processes
• Financial risks such as liquidity, interest rates and foreign exchange
• Technology risks relating to the security of information and systems
• Strategic risks relating to organizational expansion, business direction, regulation, brand erosion
• Hazard risks that are normally insurable such as product liability or property damage

We can guide and assist you in developing and implementing a risk management framework that will enable identifying, assessing, quantifying, treating and monitoring the above risks. 

Across the world, there are increasing expectations from regulators, financiers, shareholders and other stakeholders on companies to establish and adhere to high corporate governance standards. A robust corporate governance framework will provide reassurance to key stakeholders.

At the same time, the benefits of good corporate governance go beyond meeting legal or statutory requirements and create the right environment in meeting organizational objectives. Good corporate governance leads to value creation through efficient and effective use of resources that is necessary to yield competitive returns.
