Corporate and Government leaders are placing increased emphasis on the maintenance of comprehensive corporate governance structures. In response, directors and managers are now faced with mounting responsibilities in exercising due care and diligence in performing their duties and in implementing internal controls, not only to avoid both external and internal threats, but also to assist them in achieving their fundamental business objectives.

The Enterprise Risk Services Division (“ERS”) offers a comprehensive range of services designed to help clients across a wide spectrum of industries to better understand and manage business risks and uncertainty, determine acceptable levels of exposure to risk, implement controls, and provide ongoing measurement and monitoring of the risk environment.

ERS takes a holistic approach to risk management, by working collaboratively with clients at all levels of the organisation to anticipate, understand and address a broad spectrum of strategic and operational risks. We assess an organisation’s corporate objectives, then identify, measure and prioritise the risks which may prevent those objectives from being achieved. This approach is tailored to your needs – the ERS practice can provide full risk management services or help facilitate an internally resourced implementation process. Our services allow clients to better measure, manage and control risk to enhance the reliability of systems and processes throughout the enterprise.

Our services include:

• risk management
• corporate governance
• internal audit
• organisational and operational reviews
• fraud control
• performance audits
• control assurance
• probity reviews
• Sarbanes-Oxley reviews
• development of policy & procedure manuals.

By teaming with our global resources, the ERS practice can deliver integrated and innovative industry-based solutions that meet organisational objectives and ensure our clients ongoing success in the marketplace. Specifically, we help clients assess and manage risk and we work with them to improve bottom line performance through:

• the assessment of risk and control frameworks including strategic, operational and systems and processes
• designing cost effective strategies to avoid or mitigate the likelihood of risk
• maximising the value of internal audit improving an organisation’s governance and regulatory framework
• project risk assurance and assistance over key projects to ensure they are delivered on time and on budget.
