RiskService

Enterprise Risk Management

Enterprise Risk Services provide organizations with a structured approach to identify, assess, and manage risks across their operations, ensuring resilience and informed decision-making at every level of the business.

Overview

A risk register is not a risk framework. Plenty of organisations maintain a well-populated spreadsheet that has almost no bearing on how capital is allocated, which projects are approved, or what the board discusses.

Our approach connects risk to decisions. That means a taxonomy the business recognises, an appetite statement expressed in numbers rather than adjectives, and assessment methods proportionate to the exposure being measured. Where risk management is already established, we focus on the harder second-order work: aggregation, correlation, and the treatment of risks that cross functional boundaries.

What this covers

  • 01

    ERM framework and policy

    Governance of risk, risk taxonomy, assessment methodology, escalation thresholds and reporting lines, documented in a form the business can operate without consultants present.

  • 02

    Risk appetite and tolerance

    Appetite statements translated into measurable limits and key risk indicators, cascaded to the business units that actually take the risk.

  • 03

    Risk identification and assessment

    Facilitated workshops, structured interviews and scenario analysis to build a register that reflects the business as it is, not as the org chart describes it.

  • 04

    Control mapping and treatment

    Linking each material risk to the controls that mitigate it, exposing both gaps and the duplication that quietly consumes budget.

  • 05

    Risk reporting and dashboards

    Board and executive reporting built around movement and threshold breach rather than a static heat map that looks identical quarter after quarter.

  • 06

    Embedding and capability building

    Training risk owners, running the first cycle alongside your team, and handing over a process that survives after we leave.

Questions we get asked

What is the difference between this and internal audit?
Risk management is a second-line activity: it is owned by management and helps the business decide how much risk to take. Internal audit is third line: it independently tests whether the first two lines are working. We deliver both, but never on the same subject matter for the same client at the same time.
Can you quantify risk rather than score it?
Where the data supports it, yes. Quantification is valuable for risks with a loss history or a modellable driver. Applying it to risks without either produces false precision, so we are explicit about which method suits which exposure.
