Time to grasp the nettle


Every business transaction contains an element of risk, yet at the same time how satisfactory are the mechanics for managing risk?

In recent years we have witnessed just how costly the laissez faire attitude to risk was in many institutions from large corporations to smaller SME’s.

In the never ending quest for larger profits many of the saner measures of business were abandoned.

An analysis of recent disasters all have one common denominator – the architects of these calamities went hurtling over the cliff like lemmings.

There has never been a more pressing need to examine all areas of exposure.

A forensic analysis of the current Debtors Book might make for uncomfortable reading but like most unpleasant tasks it should not be ducked.

Better to take remedial action such as a write down whilst you are in control of your own destiny rather than have a 3rd Party appointed to do it for you.
