Risk Analysis and Assessment: The Key to Early Decision-Making

Every company faces risks. But not all companies identify and manage them in a timely manner. Risk analysis and assessment have become an indispensable tool for strategic and operational decision-making.
Today, it’s not enough to control; you have to anticipate.

What types of risks should you be analyzing?

• Operational risks: process failures, obsolete technology, logistical disruptions.
• Regulatory risks: tax compliance, labor, environmental, AML/MLI, etc.
• Financial risks: accounting errors, lack of liquidity, exposure to taxes or exchange rates.
• Reputational risks: malpractice, lack of transparency, public incidents.

What do we achieve with a professional risk assessment?

• Detect opportunities for improvement.
• Strengthen internal controls.
• Redirect efforts to strategic areas.
• Avoid penalties and financial damages due to omissions.

At VLH, we conduct risk assessments and matrices based on frameworks such as COSO ERM, identifying critical areas and designing concrete action plans.
