Our Approach to Risk Management
In our many years of collective work in the field, we have developed an approach that is driven by the following principals:
Risk Management
is a Business Function
While risk management specialists are typically and appropriately charged with overseeing routine risk operations, decisions as to overall Risk Control objectives, protocols, applications and resource allocation are business matters that are under the purview of an enterprise’s Senior Management. As such, we believe our ideal role is to guide this business decision-making and to work with our clients to ensure efficient execution.
Risk Management is Most Effective
when Simplicity is Guiding Principal
In our judgment, the most useful risk tools, of both qualitative and quantitative natures, are those that express risks simply. This applies to reporting suites, interpretation, and messaging. General Risk Advisors, LLC therefore strives in its risk advisory efforts, to convert complex inputs into the simplest achievable content, for quick, easy utilization by audiences of different orientation, bandwidth and level of sophistication.
