Risk Management and Compliance

Automotive Industry


A world-leading automobile manufacturer engaged us to design and roll out their global integrity and compliance program. This tremendous transformation program was built on two key pillars: implementing processes and inspiring people. The program strengthened governance and processes: more than ten functional initiatives were rolled out across more than 500 legal entities across the globe. In addition, all company employees have been actively engaged along the journey via a diverse set of communication, training, information, and enablement initiatives—embarking on the path to achieving sustainable culture change.

Payments and Transaction Banking

A market-leading merchant acquirer with a strong footprint in travel and airlines engaged our risk management and compliance and payments teams for immediate crisis response, gaining strength and resilience while continuing to onboard new clients even in the midst of the crisis. We reduced the client’s exposure by more than one-third and expected loss by approximately 85% during the crisis, while doubling the profitability per transaction volume in high-risk verticals.

Energy

Utilities have been severely impacted by dramatically elevated market volatility in European gas and power prices. For a leading utility, BCG identified >€5B of reduced liquidity exposure through a rebalanced gas and power portfolio. We simulated and defined an adjusted hedging strategy, recalibrating the triangle of market, credit, and liquidity risk, and improved financing structures to significantly improve working capital.

Insurance Industry

For a regional life insurer, we reworked the company’s balance sheet management framework and optimized the balance sheet and capital position through a targeted set of initiatives. The project took the company from losing money to profitable within a few months, and it set the firm up to earn a double-digit return on capital over the coming years.
