Risk Management

Risk management

The core competency, and the reason the firm carries those initials: not clearing up the consequences, but discussing risk before the decision is taken.

Who it is for

  • Owners and boards
  • Investors and their representatives
  • Companies entering a new market
  • Executives in a crisis

When it is needed

  • A decision is being made where the cost of error dwarfs the cost of checking.
  • A project looks too good and you want an independent view.
  • A crisis has already begun and the first 24 hours need a plan.
  • Business risks need to be described systematically instead of living in the owner's head.

Risks it addresses

  • Misjudging a partner or a project
  • Country and operational risk
  • Reputational exposure
  • A crisis without a response plan

What it includes

  • Business risk audit and assessment
  • Independent assessment of a specific deal or project
  • Crisis strategy and support
  • Recommendations on organising integrated corporate security
  • Long-term project support

How it runs

  1. We break the situation into factors: what is known, what is assumed, what is unverified.
  2. We assess the likelihood and price of each scenario — including doing nothing.
  3. We set out options with an honest account of their weak points.
  4. Where needed, we stay alongside until the risk is closed.

The result

A prioritised risk map with workable options. The decision always remains yours; the expert's job is to make sure it is taken with open eyes.

Boundaries and confidentiality

A risk assessment is not investment advice, an audit opinion or a legal opinion.

Indicative pricing

The current Bureau RM rate card. The figure depends on scope.

Risk audit and assessmentfrom 150 000 KZT
Retained supportfrom 100 000 KZT

Indicative prices follow the current Bureau RM rate card. The final figure depends on scope; a retainer modelled on an in-house security function is also possible.

Next step

Where to start

Describe the situation in two or three sentences — that is enough to establish whether a service is needed at all, and which one.
