Risk Management & Advisory Services

Risk Management is a process consisting of well-defined steps which, when taken in sequence,
support better decision making by contributing to a greater insight into risks and their impacts. It is
as much about identifying opportunities as it is about avoiding losses.
By adopting effective Risk Management techniques, the client can improve the quality of decision making,
business performance and the overall Organisational Risk appetite of the company.
Our Risk Management and Advisory Services are divided into two main areas.

Organisational/Business Risk Management

o Strategic risk assessment workshops
o Quantification of risk in terms of probability and severity
o Cost of risk calculations
o Best practice interventions
o Functional / Departmental mapping of organisational risks
o Software that enables easy access of information to all parties, including senior
management

Pure/Insurable Risk Management

o Risk Assessments
o Development and Implementation of Risk Control standards
o Integrated Risk Management Programmes
o Self assessment software in the area of Insurance Risk Control
o Policies, Procedures and Standards that govern pure risk management
o Legislative compliance assessments
o Risk management training (Risk Control, Risk Assessment & Safety and Health)
