Financial Risk Management

Financial Risk Management (FRM) specializes in the design and implementation of structures, processes and methods of risk management and controlling for credit, market, liquidity and operational risks at financial institutions and industrial firms.

 

Integrated Bank Management / MIS
The maturity of a bank's Management Information System (MIS) and its Integrated Bank Management Target Operating Model is becoming a crucial factor for long term success.
Operational Risk Management
Operational risks are interruptions to a company's ability to provide services - whether due to a faulty internal process (such as IT breakdowns) or to external causes (natural disasters, fraud) - and are not specific to any particular sector.
Credit Risk Management
After the credit crisis banks and other financial institutions are confronted with the challenges of a new area that will bring along fundamental changes.
Economic Capital Management
The quantification of economic capital makes it possible to help achieve the capital adequacy of a company through the requisite amount of equity capital.
Investment Management
The investment management industry is currently experiencing turbulent times. Our interdisciplinary team of investment management specialists offers tailor-made strategies to help you achieve success, even in turbulent times such as these.
Treasury Management
The responsibility of treasury organizations is to contribute to a company's success by managing financial risks efficiently. At the same time, they must satisfy the growing requirements of their regulatory environment.
Treasury Accounting
Treasury accounting deals with how financial instruments are presented in the accounts of industrial companies.
Basel II
The options available under Basel II could have a decisive impact on banks' future business models. Their intention is to incentivize financial institutions in a targeted way to employ more precise risk measurement models.
Economic Capital Model Validation for Insurance
Insurance companies face the challenge of adjusting risk/capital requirements to their individual risk profiles.
Enterprise Risk Management for Insurers
Insurance companies must further develop their risk management systems and anchor them more firmly throughout their entire organization and corporate processes. In doing so, they must take supervisory requirements and market standards into account.
Commodity & Energy Risk Management
Rising and highly volatile energy and commodities prices are creating uncertainty. The companies most affected are those whose sales or total expenditures are highly dependent on energy and commodity costs.
Optimizing your Financial Reporting process with XBRL

XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) is a universal language for the standardised exchange of financial reporting data. One goal of XBRL is to reduce inefficiencies during the process of data exchange and analysis as well as to facilitate the comparability of financial information. Data is exchanged between different information systems and is immediately usable without manual re-keying. This compatibility is one of the key advantages of XBRL.
