Philosophy & Approach

“ Experience ensures that incremental change maximises benefit and minimises risk”

LA Risk & Financial believes that each change, however small, to a system or process should provide an incremental benefit to the client. This approach reduces the overall time and cost of projects and minimises risk of overrun. To guarantee this:

± We only use senior highly experienced staff with a deep understanding of our client's industry.
± We typically use working prototypes in the early stages of a project. If a client decides not to proceed with a full     implementation , prototype will serve to identify quick-win improvement. It goes without saying that prototyping     is no substitute for rigorous implementation planning to ensure that one can scale up in later stages.
± We involve client's own staff in the assignment. This leverages our client's existing organization and     infrastructure and achieves a rapid transfer of new knowledge to our client

“ Those using a small and highly focused team of experts”

Within Operational Risk and Financial Control assignments, our wide range of expertise ensures that the assignments are hardly ever “typical”. Whatever the challenge, LA Risk & Financial will use a small team of experts using an integrated approach to support a client's chosen strategy.

“Not body shopping”

We do not generally provide large-scale project implementation teams or staff augmentation. Instead we provide business and process designs, an implementation roadmap, supporting programme management and risk assurance. Nor do we produce yet another “review” of a client's existing operations. Instead we rapidly (often incrementally) introduce changes that are demonstrably beneficial to our clients.

“We leverage client's existing knowledge”

Using a process of Rapid Knowledge Transformation (RKT), LA Risk & Financial leverages our clients' existing processes and systems to achieve an immediate and measurable impact. RKT allows us to quickly move beyond a mere review of our clients' business, to transform reporting , change organizational structures, improve and enhance risk management processes and financial controls.

“Take bite-size chunks to add value at each stage of a programme or a project”

LA Risk & Financial helps clients to reduce risk on complex projects through performing a small amount of initial work that gives immediate direct benefit. This work may then result in client-driven projects. In parallel, our Programme and Project Risk practitioners use standard models (ISO/IEC15288 and 12207) to swiftly set up a comprehensive and robust planning and risk assurance framework, further de - risking our client's investment.

As a global player, we have clients that focus primarily on the Middle East and Central & Eastern Europe. We combine our strong logistical presence in CEE with our professional experience in executing capital market transactions to provide expert advice and support deal structuring and closure.
