Global Risk 2021: Building a Stronger, Healthier Bank
Banks that fortify their core will emerge from the pandemic fitter and with the financial muscle to be a bulwark for customers and the broader community.
Risk management and compliance can do more than mitigate threats and safeguard a company’s operations and reputation—it can create value. Our risk and compliance consulting team helps clients turn uncertainty into opportunity.
We view risk management and compliance through a wide-angle lens. While our teams are skilled at applying technical solutions to immediate problems, our focus isn’t simply “putting out fires” but rather on supporting management decision making. By identifying systemic or structural issues, we help organizations across all industries become more ethical and resilient—and more competitive—in ways that a narrower, less strategic assessment of risk and compliance could not achieve. The improvements are innovative, fundamental, and lasting.
We provide strategic, transformational, and technical offerings in risk and compliance, which include—but also extend well beyond—financial risk consulting and compliance consulting. We take a comprehensive view of financial and non-financial risks, including operational and strategic risks. This enables us to help our clients grow their businesses while staying ahead of key risks, anticipating regulatory shifts, and instilling ethical practices—all of which helps earn the trust of employees, stakeholders, investors, and the public.
Compliance and Crisis Response
We help our clients to sustainably remediate and grow in the areas of compliance, ethics, and anti-financial crime. We believe in data-driven and technology-enabled transformations that put talent and culture at the center while optimizing and maturing corporate compliance operations.
Advanced Risk Analytics
We work with clients to develop best-in-class analytics solutions and support better risk management and compliance decision making. We apply a transformational approach with the ambition to redefine industry processes in a highly automated and cost-efficient manner.
Balance Sheet Management
Achieving superior results from a risk-return perspective requires a holistic approach to balance sheet, funding, and liquidity management. Our risk and compliance consulting team uses levers to optimize the balance sheet and builds capabilities for sustainable risk-adjusted performance.
Credit Risk Management
The risk that counterparties might fail to meet payment obligations isn’t confined to financial institutions. We help build advanced end-to-end credit processes to enhance clients’ efficiency while substantially improving the quality of credit decisions.
Commodity Market Risk
Together with industry, merchants, and banks, we manage commodity market exposure to protect value and create upside. Our holistic offering includes commercial and trading strategies, operations and IT implementation, and more, supporting the entire commodities ecosystem.
Operational Risk Management
We help clients identify operational risks in their businesses and build the right controls into their operating processes for effective operational risk management.
Cybersecurity and Digital Risk
We blend technical expertise with risk management processes and controls to not only reduce our clients’ vulnerability but also boost their capacity for rapid response and recovery in the wake of cyber incidents.
Climate and ESG Risk Management
We work with clients to accelerate their transition to net zero and ESG conformity. We support measurement and scenario analysis in climate, and we integrate ESG principles into clients’ risk management and compliance practices.
