Risk Assurance & Advisory

CONTACT US

Risk assurance services enable a checks-and-balances system across internal processes that help to identify differences between perceived and identified risks and the risk appetite of the organisation.

As a diverse range of risks, including financial, strategic, operational and cyber risks, continue to proliferate, risk oversight becomes increasingly vital. As such, many businesses and organisations recognise the importance of upgrading their risk management infrastructure to enhance their functional capabilities. 

How BDO can help

BDO’s risk assurance and consulting services enable businesses to gain an accurate and extensive understanding of the risks they face and develop risk management programs that strengthen their ability to respond to both real and perceived risks efficiently and cost-effectively.  

Providing a full range of risk advisory solutions, our assurance and advisory teams provide transaction, risk, and executive services to help clients navigate the challenges, changes, and opportunities affecting their business.

Risk management and strategy

Without a risk management framework in place, businesses and organisations are exposed to a diverse range of risks, including operational, financial, reputational, cyber, compliance, strategic, security and fraud risks.

A tailored risk management framework benefits businesses by:

  • Identifying, assessing and controlling risks in a time-efficient manner
