Managing your risk

Risk resilience is more critical than ever these days. The interplay of globalization, technological advances, regulatory change, political volatility, environmental disruptions, and economic upheavals is creating a new risk landscape for private companies across all industries. 

To cope with this transformation, companies are reinventing their risk approach so that emerging risks and Black Swan events are weighed as heavily as traditional risks, yet with the greatest focus on consequences, not causes. This involves taking the risk function out of silos and integrating it across the company -- a departure for many companies.

Internal controls should be part of this integrated approach. When effective, they go beyond reducing risk, bringing financial-reporting and operational benefits, reducing financing costs in most cases, and helping attract new business partners or buyers. Private companies looking to go public have also found solid internal controls helpful during the initial public offering.
