1. ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT
ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT (ERM) CAN INCREASE THE VALUE OF YOUR ENTERPRISE BY SUPPORTING DECISION-MAKING, REDUCING SURPRISES AND INCREASING THE ABILITY TO MEET YOUR OBJECTIVES.

Effective enterprise risk management allows organisations to make strategic decisions based on the best possible information around these risks. Increasingly, risk is now assessed across the whole range of an organisation's activities to manage the total exposure rather than treating different areas in isolation. The focus of risk is also to engage in the management of intangible assets such as brand reputation and knowledge. We can help you identify, understand and manage each of the component risks and provide a complete view of your organisations total risk exposure. We then help you to manage these risks in an integrate way to allow you to maximise the opportunities and avoid or mitigate losses.
 
2. SUPPLY CHAIN RISK MANAGEMENT
ORGANISATIONS THAT NEED TO EXTEND THEIR BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS TO ADD VALUE PARADOXICALLY CAN ADD SUBSTANTIAL ADDITIONAL RISK TO THEIR RISK PROFILE.

It has become clear that many organisations have realised the positive business benefits that transpire as a result of focused attention to their outsourced activities, the principals of service level agreements and supply chain auditing are still underdeveloped business tools that enable the mitigation of risk within an outsourced supply portfolio.
 
3. BUSINESS CONTINUITY MANAGEMENT
IRCA GLOBAL CORPORATE RISK DIVISION GUIDES AND SUPPORTS CLIENTS IN DEVELOPING AND IMPLEMENTING BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLANS (BCP'S) THAT ENSURE KEY PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES FUNCTION IN A TIME OF CRISIS.

In 24 hour seven day a week global economies the impact of business interruptions must be kept to an acceptable level if both profits and reputation are to be kept intact. A range of events can severely disrupt organisations and prevent them from operating normally - terrorism, fire, power outages, natural catastrophes and supply chain breakdowns are some of the obvious ones. As no one can predict the future, business continuity management is a proactive process that seeks to identify the mission critical functions of an organisation and the scenarios which could adversely affect these. From such information, plans and procedures can be developed which ensure that key activities can continue whatever the circumstances. Best-practice Business Continuity Management (BCM) focuses on those critical business processes that need to be protected and then restored - in times of business interruption whether they are part of your core business or an outsourced asset. We believe that the business continuity process needs to be owned by the organisation itself and that our involvement should facilitate ownership. We will help you to design a process that will work specifically for you, using whatever internal or external resources are applicable to the identified risk mitigation solutions. This process will ensure that the end result is fully embedded in your organisation by ensuring a partnership approach in understanding your organisation, design and implementation of the Business Continuity Plan (BCP)
