Risk Management


Enterprise Risk Management

The value of reducing enterprise risk is enormous, but we believe that improved Enterprise Risk Management positions a company to make more knowledgeable decisions about its growth and operations and allows it to compete more successfully.

Our approach to Enterprise Risk Management provides senior executives and boards of directors the knowledge and framework to identify and manage risks that can fundamentally alter the course of the enterprise. Through a framework that tracks risks and mitigation approaches against them, our clients are able to quantify risks, levels of exposure, and their progress on the mitigation of those risks. Our framework provides recommendations for corporate governance and risk communication so that implementation and execution are synchronous. Specialized training is also available to make your solution successful.

Operational Risk Management
In today’s world of a global economy and outsourcing, assessing and managing Operational Risk is more complicated that ever. Just because you have outsourced it, does not mean you are not exposed to the underlying risk; in fact, the operational risk is often magnified by outsourcing. Walker Bernardo works with clients to understand key processes and exposures to risk in their business operations, including IT systems, supply chains, product processing, and data centers. We provide recommendations to reduce risk through process re-design, development of alternative supply chains, and improved failed-over operations for IT systems.

Credit Risk Management
Applying Credit Risk Management in the retail banking sector successfully requires understanding your customers and their behaviors. Specifically, Walker Bernardo offers services in the retail-banking segment, where credit risk exposures can be understood and reduced by discovering social-economic truths in existing data and complimentary data sources. We leverage analytical techniques that allow clients to consider states of current portfolios and evaluate prospective portfolios. Walker Bernardo has experience in developing recommendations that support customer acquisition, account management, fraud prevention, and collections strategies towards managing credit risk.
