Risk Advisory Services in Dubai - UAE

Risks are categorized in most businesses as Strategic, Operational, Financial, and Compliance Risks.

 

Strategic Risk

The risk that an organization faces as a result of poor business decisions is known as a strategic risk. Strategic risk is frequently a key component in assessing a company’s worth, especially when the company’s value drops dramatically in a short period of time. It is a leading factor in modern risk management because of this and its impact on compliance risk.

 

Operational Risk

The risks that a firm encounters in the process of performing its everyday business operations, procedures, and systems are referred to as operational risk. It is largely reliant on human factors, such as errors or failures caused by a company’s workers’ actions or decisions.

 

Financial Risk

The possibility that a company’s cash flow may be insufficient to satisfy its obligations—that is, its loan repayments and other debts, is referred to as financial risk. It can happen as a result of management decisions, particularly those made by corporate financial experts, as well as the performance of the firm’s products.

 

Compliance Risks

An organization’s potential exposure to legal penalties, financial forfeiture, and material loss as a result of failing to operate in line with industry rules and regulations, internal policies, or recommended best practices is known as compliance risk.

Risk is an inherent part of doing business. However, with the assistance of top-risk consulting services, it can always be handled.

1. Understanding the Organization

   We will collaborate with the management to understand your business, mission, objectives and your operation in all its complexity. This requires analyzing the external and organizational environment and the risk management environment, in which risks can be identified, analyzed and minimized.This analysis will cover the entity as a whole or the individual processes. The context will be agreed upon before initiating the risk management process, so as to assist in the development of the assessment standards and the risk analysis framework.

2. Identify Risks

   Identify what, why, and how events can arise, within the subject entity, and which can prevent, minimize, or delay achieving objectives. Good quality information is important in identifying risks. The starting point for risk identification may be historical information about the entity followed by discussions with a wide range of stakeholders about historical, current and evolving issues.

3. Analyze Risks

   Risk analysis revolves around developing an understanding of the risk. It provides input into decisions on whether risks need to be treated and subsequently the most appropriate and cost-effective treatment strategies. Risk analysis involves the consideration of the sources of risk, their positive and negative consequences and the likelihood that those consequences may occur. Factors that affect consequences and likelihood may be identified. Risk is analyzed by combining consequences/impacts and their likelihood.

4. Evaluate Risks

   Compare estimated levels of risk against risk criteria to provide a basis for management to identify risk management priorities. If the levels of risk are assessed as low, then risks may fall into acceptable tolerance levels and no further treatment may be required.

5. Treat Risks

   Accept and monitor low-priority risks. For other risks identified, develop and implement specific management plans, including the resources allocated to mitigate the risks to an acceptable level. There are several forms of risk treatment such as avoidance, transfer, or reduction to an acceptable level after taking into consideration the cost versus benefit of the risk treatment.

6. Communicate & Consult

   The existence of each risk will be confirmed by management through a direct discussion or an arranged review. Management may disagree that a risk exists because controls are in place to prevent the risk from arising.

Our consultants work with clients either on an assignment basis or on a long-term retainership model, depending on specific needs.
