Risk Management

Over the past few years, Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) has become an increasingly important issue for all companies. For boards of directors and senior management, Risk Management is more than just identifying clear and obvious risks, it is a key factor in optimizing and creating value. It also provides an overview of the company’s exposure to risks, and the extent to which it is prepared to tolerate them in the pursuit of its corporate goals.

DECIMAL’s Risk Management methodology for creating company value is based largely on the COSO ERM framework (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission). Strengthened by such standards as the Basel II Accord and the guidelines on integrated Risk Management from the Autorité des marchés financiers (the “AMF”), DECIMAL’s methodology is meticulous, yet flexible enough to adapt to all aspects of the client rganization’s reality: environment, maturity level, etc.

The DECIMAL Risk Management approach: straightforward, strategic, intelligent and flexible.

Our team’s capabilities include the following:
  • creating a profile showing the structure of current risks for your organization, operating division, sector of activity or process;

  • finding out how your risk profile affects the achievement of your corporate goals: which risks may jeopardize them, and which goals may be jeopardized by the risks you are exposed to;
