Academy of Risk

Understanding the risk is vital to your business in an unpredictable and often volatile business landscape.
Business Consultations
Risk is defined as the probability of an undesirable and unexpected event occurring and the impact it will have on the success of your business, should the risk materialise. Risk Management is as much about identifying opportunities, as it is about avoiding or moderating losses. As business risk consultants, we can assist you in identifying your risk exposures and determine your risk readiness, by implementing frameworks and programmes that will mitigate and minimise your risks. This will include all your risk types, i.e. Operational risks, Fraud risks, Compliance risks, Ethics and Governance risk, as well as your Strategic risks, as these are the areas we specialise in.
Risk Training
By training your staff, you mitigate your risk even further. Giving them the ability to conduct business in a more efficient and effective manner, by improving your processes and controls.
