Risk Advisory 

Our Risk Advisory services support organisations in identifying material risks, strengthening internal controls and improving governance, compliance and reporting processes. We provide governing bodies, risk committees and executive teams with objective analysis and practical recommendations aligned with the organisation’s size, operating environment and regulatory obligations. Our work focuses on establishing proportionate structures that support accountability, oversight and informed decision-making. 

Why It Matters

Organisations face strategic, operational, financial, technology and regulatory risks that can affect performance and long-term sustainability. Limited visibility, unclear accountability and ineffective controls can expose the organisation to financial lossdisruption and non-compliance. Structured risk and control processes help governing bodies and management understand material exposures, prioritise action and strengthen organisational resilience.

Enterprise Risk

Our enterprise risk services help organisations establish a consistent approach to identifying, assessing, managing and reporting risks that may affect strategic and operational objectives. Explore our enterprise risk services below.

We assist organisations in developing and maintaining an enterprise-wide approach to strategic, operational, financial and compliance risk. Our support may include governance arrangements, risk-identification processes, risk registers, assessment criteria, management responses, monitoring and reporting.

We perform structured risk assessments for organisations, business units, projects, processes and proposed changes. Risks are evaluated with reference to their likelihood, potential consequences and existing controls, helping management prioritise the matters requiring attention.

We assist organisations in designing risk management frameworks appropriate to their strategy, governance structure and operating environment. The framework may define responsibilities, reporting lines, assessment methods, escalation requirements and monitoring processes.

We support governing bodies and executive teams in defining the nature and level of risk the organisation is prepared to accept in pursuing its objectives. Our work may include risk appetite statements, tolerance levels, escalation thresholds and related reporting indicators.

We develop risk reports and dashboards that present material exposures, emerging risks, control matters, response progress and key indicators clearly and consistently. Reporting is tailored to management, risk committees and governing bodies.

We assist organisations in developing and reviewing business continuity arrangements for significant operational disruptions. Our work may include business impact analysis, critical activity identification, recovery priorities, continuity strategies, communication procedures and testing plans.

Internal Audit & Controls

Our internal audit and control services provide objective insight into whether selected governance, risk management and internal control processes are appropriately designed and operating as intended. Explore our internal audit and control services below.

We provide outsourced or co-sourced internal audit services under an agreed mandate and risk-based plan approved by the appropriate governing body or committee. Engagements may address financial, operational, compliance, technology and governance processes and provide observations and practical recommendations.

We review selected controls and business processes to assess whether they are appropriately designed, documented, implemented and, where included in the scope, operating effectively. Our work may address authorisation, segregation of duties, reconciliations, access management, record keeping and management review.

We assist management in developing proportionate controls to address identified financial, operational, compliance and technology risks. Proposed controls consider the organisation’s size, systems, resources and risk exposure, with management retaining responsibility for their approval and implementation.

We support organisations in strengthening controls where reviews, audits, incidents or operational changes have identified weaknesses. Our work may include improving procedures, documentation, approval processes, segregation of duties and remediation plans.

Compliance & Governance Risk

Our compliance and governance risk services help organisations understand applicable obligations and strengthen the processes through which compliance and related risks are managed and overseen. Explore our compliance and governance risk services below.

We review selected policies, processes, records and controls against agreed legal, regulatory, contractual or internal requirements. The review identifies areas of alignment, potential gaps and matters requiring investigation or remediation.

We assist organisations in developing processes for identifying, assigning, monitoring and reporting applicable regulatory obligations. Our support may include compliance registers, responsibility matrices, monitoring procedures, escalation protocols and management reporting.

We support organisations in assessing and managing risks arising from suppliers, service providers, outsourced functions and other external relationships. Our work may include risk classification, due diligence, control requirements, performance monitoring and escalation procedures. The governing body and management retain responsibility for the organisation’s risk appetite, risk management, internal control and compliance processes.
