Today’s business environment requires highly skilled finance and risk functions that have the flexibility to address a continuously changing risk profile and meet the financial expectations of all stakeholders. In this context, we offer a range of industry-focused solutions that help organisations review and enhance the effectiveness of their risk management and financial performance measurement capabilities.

Our risk-based framework for creating shareholder value focuses on economic profits rather than traditional measures of performance such as accounting profits. This enables clients to make more informed decisions that will result in:

• Revenue Improvement – producing risk adjusted performance measures and more effective pricing schemes that factor in the cost of capital;
• Cost Reduction – integrating risk and finance operating models in their respective business, and aligning data, technology architectures and reporting to best support these;
• Optimised Capital and Resource Allocation – designing, implementing and supporting economic capital approaches.

In order to achieve these objectives, we support clients across four broad disciplines:

• Organisation and Governance – establishing organisational and governance structures and institutionalising economic capital/value creation in accordance with a clearly articulated risk management strategy, including well-documented policies, processes, procedures and controls.
• Business Processes and People – integrating economic capital/value creation into business processes to enable optimal risk management; and using updated economic capital numbers in strategic planning and economic- value-added performance measurement processes.
• Information Management – adopting an organisation-wide approach to the implementation and integration of systems to meet data and reporting requirements, focusing on business strategy in addition to compliance. This may include Data Capture and Core Infrastructure capabilities.
• Measurement and Analytics – developing, implementing and co-ordinating methodologies and business analytics to improve transparency in the assessment; and measuring all material risks faced by an organisation using a holistic approach linked to the organisation’s risk appetite.
