Enterprise Risk Management
+Due to the plethora of different regulatory requirements (e.g. RCSA, RRA, AML, SOX, TPRM, IT) financial services firms quite often find themselves struggling with risk assessments being performed multiple times, by multiple assurance groups on the same risks, resulting in a complex set of redundant, and sometimes overlapping, information. We work cross-functionally within our client organizations to establish a common risk management framework that harmonizes risk language across the firm (particularly Operational Risk Management, Compliance, IT, Finance, Audit), promoting clarity and transparency.
However, use of language can be highly political, especially within large organizations with different stakeholder agendas. Arriving at a consensus is critical given that the power to say “no” is widespread. Essentially, the business needs to move to a situation where risk is assessed once, and then those results are used to respond to the different risk assurance programs.
