Risk assessments are vital to effective governance and compliance. In fact, the very notion of effective compliance and risk management is built upon an initial understanding of what risks an organization is willing to tolerate, and at what level.
SAI Global's Advisory Services team provides comprehensive compliance, ethics and risk-specific assessments which can be coordinated with any of our broad range of products and services.
Assessing the Organization's Risks
Our team will capture knowledge of your current and emerging risks and will help you:
- identify critical risk areas and control gaps, including the impact of organizational culture
- collate risk assessment results and provide a clear view of your risk profile
- validate the risk profile within your organization
- develop a systematic plan remediating and enhancing control structures and processes and positively influencing your culture
- identify training and communications needs and opportunities
- raise risk awareness and promote a culture of integrity
In addition, we incorporate a contemporaneous organizational culture survey into our risk assessment, which focuses specifically on the inherent risks in the prevailing organizational culture (and subcultures). Not only will this enable you to perform the kind of risk assessment required by the Federal Sentencing Guidelines (FSG) for Organizations and numerous other provisions around the world, it will assist your senior management and board of directors to meet that other important new requirement to promote a culture which encourages ethical conduct and a commitment to compliance with the law.
