COMMISSIONED RESEARCH

One of the problems of corporate activity is seeing the woods for the trees. Sometimes there are areas that you and your people struggle with. We can help . . .

Where clients require specialised understanding to investigate a difficult or controversial topic, we answer the call. No area is to complicated for our experts in risk in fields from quantitative techniques to behavioural research to public policy to systemic risk.

INDEPENDENT RESEARCH

We recognise our responsibility, as thought leaders, to form the debate and contribute to it actively across all areas of risk practice. Where we lead, others follow.

Risk is centre-stage in so many different areas now that we could spend all our time comment on consultations from one source or another. We need to pick those that we think matter. We also choose areas that we think are particularly important for unprompted independent research. Read some of them below.

Enhancing resilience

Solvency II governance

In a quiet but important change of emphasis, the FSA 'ups the ante' on FS company directors. The change is useful but there are some wrinkles . . .

The Walker Review has heralded some important changes to the governance of risk in financial services firms.

The pace is building on the Basel Committee's response to the G20 agenda for dealing with the financial crisis. We respond to a paper on resilience.

Solvency II is not just a regulatory change; it is a sea-change in regulatory thinking on insurance. Governance is at the core of its ideas . . .
