Today’s rapidly changing geo-political, business, and regulatory environment requires rethinking about risk in new ways. Management is constantly struggling with increasingly demanding requirements while optimising the governance structure, to build trust, drive efficiency and to remain competitive.
Implementing the suitable Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) framework will enable organisations to identify the right approaches which contribute to improved risk management, enhanced process efficiency, and strengthened internal controls and compliances. Taking an innovative approach to managing and enhancing your GRC capabilities can help you seize opportunities, stay a step ahead of uncertainty, and meet stakeholder expectations.
Our work comprises helping companies design, review, revamp and benchmark their GRC practices and business process controls performance. By aligning GRC activities to business performance drivers, we help transform the function to anticipate and mitigate risk and deliver business performance. Our teams bring specialty skills and industry experience to provide you with the practical implementation insights.
We work with our clients to design, review and implement operating models for effective Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) solutions by leveraging proprietary frameworks, tools and methodologies which are customisable to clients’ specific needs and maturity. We also have deep expertise in areas such as risk appetite articulation, integrated compliance and risk models, and Key Risk Indicator (KRI) based monitoring.

Revenue Assurance is aimed to plug revenue leakages along the entire value chain.
