Every business transaction contains an
element of risk, yet at the same time how adequate are the mechanics and
systems that are in place to manage these risks?
In recent years we have witnessed just how costly the laissez faire attitude to risk was in many institutions be they large corporations or smaller SME’s.
In the never ending quest for larger profits many of the saner measures of business were jettisoned.
An analysis of the most spectacular flame outs 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.
It is far 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 .
