Financial Risk Management

A spate of high-profile business failures and the emergence of tougher regulations have put organisations under pressure to manage financial risk more effectively. Organisations should therefore be attentive to managing credit, market, liquidity, and operational risk, as well as maintaining sufficient levels of economic capital to support the risks facing them.

Risk management is highly complex, with risks often interrelated, and requiring sophisticated tools and techniques. Requirements from Sarbanes-Oxley, Basel II, Solvency II and the cost of capital may necessitate organisations to improve their practices. Risk management may now ultimately be viewed as a major part of corporate strategy by management.

Why KPMG
KPMG assists organisations to develop and improve processes for managing a portfolio of financial risks. We apply a risk management discipline; focusing on net exposure and helping companies develop a comprehensive risk approach to enhancing shareholder value. What's more, our forward-looking approach helps management to communicate with the board and stakeholders using risk-adjusted performance measures - facilitating tactical decision-making.

How can KPMG help
KPMG's Financial Risk Management professionals help management and boards of directors to identify, measure, and monitor financial and business risks, the relationships between risks and returns, and the control environment over the management and reporting of these risks.

We analyse the consistency of a client's risk management framework within a defined risk strategy; offering a critical assessment of the implementation of risk strategy in key areas of a client's business, and understanding the regulatory requirements.

We also help clients to design and implement an effective risk management framework and infrastructure. This helps them optimise their use of risk capital, risk methods, processes and systems.
