Identifying and Managing Business Exceptions

We combine smart, experienced business consultants, application & technology integration experts with the leading technology for continuous monitoring, Approva One. With or for our clients, we implement monitoring systems for specific business processes or areas or concern. Clearly, automated monitoring is only effective when the underlying information is available in systems.

Project Delivery

We offer fixed price business issue or project assessment services and also deliver fixed price or time and materials projects for our clients.

Business Assessment & Proof Of Concept

We all know that business processes are delicate in the real world. Refining, streamlining and developing business processes can be impacted by many factors, including changes to strategy, organization, tactics, performance measures and the complex nature of human behavior  in the workplace. Consequently, it is critical to assess and prove any concept for process or technology change in an early ‘Proof of Concept’ or ‘Pilot’ project BEFORE committing to a course of action.

Workshop Objectives

Improving Risk Visibility

Whilst organizations typically understand , with their help of their Finance & Risk Management professionals, the classes of risks that they are exposed to, there is a big gap in practice between the understanding of the risk itself and monitoring the risks and related controls and information sources that provide insight into the real exposure at any point in time. As the environment becomes more turbulent and fast moving, exposure to specific risks changes on a dynamic basis, management and stakeholders (investors, regulators, employees, customers, business partners and boards) are raising their expectations on the level of visibility the organization should have on its operations and exposures, both financial and reputational. Management are asking for better tools to manage the business and alert them to exceptions that are outside the accepted risk profile.
