DEVELOPMENT OF A SYSTEM for financial risk management

Development of Systems for Financial Risk Management

We cooperate with our clients when developing of a new system or improving an existing risk management system. The output of our cooperation are specific procedures and methodologies applicable to the management of credit, market, operational and liquidity risk or possibly to partial tasks connected with the management of finance.

We usually work on projects individually.  Partial outputs are discussed at meetings with our clients. During the project we make sure that the final output fully meets the needs of our clients. This means  -clear and thorough implementation whilst maintaining timeliness and reasonable cost.

Assistance with formulation and drafting of internal guidelines in the financial area

Companies perform certain activities on the principle "because it's been done like this for years". That is, without any internal regulations and with no documentation. In order to maintain continuity of a given process it is necessary to coordinate all activities and processes into a global system of internal regulation. Advanced Risk Management offers its services in places where resources do not allow the dedication of sufficient attention to internal regulations. Our cooperation is effected as follows:
  • at meetings with clients, we define the scope of activity
  • if the documentation exists, we will update, improve and complete it
  • in cases where documentation does not exist, we will draft it based on our experience and discussions with persons in charge
  • the drafted documentation is elaborated into details and the output always clear
