Risk Assessment

A disciplined lens on operational, market, and strategic risk — surfacing the few decisions that matter most.

— The work

A risk register is not a risk assessment. We look for the small number of exposures that would genuinely change the trajectory of the business, test how they behave together rather than separately, and put a number and an owner against each one.

Findings are delivered to the board in person. Nothing consequential is first read in a document.

— Typically includes

  • Enterprise risk review across operations, concentration and counterparty
  • Scenario and stress analysis on the balance sheet and the operating plan
  • Key-person, governance and succession exposure
  • Regulatory and jurisdictional change assessment, with counsel alongside
  • Standing risk reporting for the board or the family council
