Risk Audit

The effective management of the risks to your business starts with identifying where the risks are through a Risk Audit. This audit looks at the threats that your enterprise faces and concurrently at the processes in place for their mitigation. We will look at legislative requirements, paper plans, integration with partner organisations including the emergency services and training processes. Where appropriate, a scenario will be run to test both the plans and people in a crisis exercise. Reports will be written and presented with an objective assessment of the capability as seen. Recommendations will be produced and, together with your team, a way ahead mapped.

We employ the Risk Audit for external interested parties as part of a due diligence process. The maturity of plans, processes and training can influence a decision to invest in an organisation, weight insurance premiums or influence a merger or acquisition. The way they prepare for crisis resolution may reflect on the broader cultural issues.

Clients that have engaged this service include; EDF Energy UK (main board); British Energy Generation; Energy Solutions, Magnox (also as British Nuclear Fuels Limited and British Nuclear Group) and the Health and Safety Laboratories (HSL).
