Developing a clear business strategy is notoriously difficult. Knowing what to sell, in which markets, and when can be difficult to define.

Betting the company's future on that strategy can be daunting.

Research

Workshop

Consult and finalise

To ensure relevant information is considered as part of the strategic risk review, we start by conducting detailed research including:

  • Industry analysis

  • Economic factors

  • Annual reports

  • Previous audit opinions

  • Strategy and business model

  • Executive profiles

  • Organisation structure

  • News and/or media

The connection between strategic risks and operational risks starts with strategy.

Bringing business leaders together to examine the key issues facing the business, and the issues they must embed into their decision making.

Finally, we will craft a set of principle risks with clear alignment to the business strategy.

The final draft will be circulated for comment before publishing the foundation document from which greater risk maturity can be built, monitored and managed.
