The risk landscape

In recent years, financial markets have been volatile, marked by trade disputes between the two largest economies, the United States and China, ongoing uncertainty surrounding Brexit, and the Covid-19 pandemic and its economic fallout. On top of this, business leaders are trading in an increasingly more integrated global economy, exposing their operations to a greater range and severity of risks.

Businesses that trade across multijurisdictional territories must make informed decisions while navigating a myriad of complex and diverse regulatory systems. They need guidance from experts who have a proven track record of managing complex operations on this scale.

Technological innovations and the increasing digitalisation of the global economy means businesses also need specialist expertise and knowledge to stay ahead of competitors, but attracting and retaining such in-demand talent must be achieved while keeping costs proportionate.

Business leaders need to respond promptly to escalating threats. But, if the corporate culture negates decisive action, threats can soon spiral into a crisis.

Cyber security remains one of the biggest and most significant threats to business continuity, reputation and, in some cases, survival. The potency and sophistication of attacks and the scale of fraudulent activity is predicted to gather pace as new technologies come on stream, legal and regulatory systems become ever more complex, and supply chains diversify and extend further.

With all of this comes an unprecedented rise in the digital storage of personal and professional data and greater legal requirements on businesses to safeguard client confidentiality and privacy.
