The Opportunity

Enterprise Risk has evolved beyond risk and control reviews to include more holistic transformative solutions, for example, examining a client's key Functions (such as Internal Audit, Compliance, Procurement, etc.) and providing insight/guidance into what the future-state of that function should look like, and assisting the client in attaining that future state.
