Risk ManagementManagement Consulting for Financial Services

The evolution of risk management globally has transformed it from a reactive, compliance-focused function into a strategic, integrated discipline at the core of financial stability and institutional trust. Traditionally centred on credit and market risk, the global financial crisis of 2008 was a turning point, pushing regulators from Basel to Washington to embed liquidity risk, stress testing, and macroprudential oversight into core supervisory frameworks. 

Since then, risk management has expanded to address complex, cross-border threats—ranging from cyberattacks and third-party concentration to geopolitical shocks, climate risk, and algorithmic bias. Today, across jurisdictions from the UK and EU to the US and Switzerland, regulators expect firms to manage risk holistically, with real-time data, robust governance, and a forward-looking view that accounts for behavioural shifts, reputational exposure, and systemic interdependencies. In this interconnected world, resilience is no longer just regulatory—it is strategic, cultural, and essential to maintaining stakeholder confidence in volatile markets.
