Hundreds of years ago people built walls and towers around their communities to guard against threats. So too can businesses protect themselves with a companywide enterprise risk management program. Begin by obtaining total buy-in from your managers and key employees. Next, identify as many risks as possible specific to your business and its industry. Clarify your appetite and capacity for each risk, and develop a cohesive philosophy and plan for handling these threats. We can assist you in managing business risks in a financially sound manner.
