Corporate Risk Advisors, LLC

Corporate Risk Advisors is a multi-disciplinary consulting firm providing services to the financial services industry. Our network brings together tenured executives who have held senior leadership positions in Fortune 100 companies, financial institutions, and regulatory agencies. They solve problems from the client’s perspective, drive toward decisions, and take action. Corporate Risk Advisors is uniquely positioned to field the right team for its clients in four critical risk management dimensions:

Planning for Risk: The most effective risk-reduction strategy is to plan for risk before it happens. Corporate Risk Advisors prepares the organization for an upcoming investigation & examination so there are fewer unexpected or onerous outcomes. Experienced professionals implement an effective regulatory compliance program, which covers fair lending laws, fee limitations, licensing rules, and a host of other requirements, to protect organizations from future violations. Risks posed by inadequate information management are quantified and Corporate Risk Advisors proposes solutions that shield its client from future security breakdowns. Enterprise risk management is successful when Corporate Risk Advisors puts words into action throughout the client’s operations.

Uncovering Hidden Value: Competing on analytics is a core strength of Corporate Risk Advisors’s risk advisory team. Corporate Risk Advisors implements proven techniques based on integrated risk analysis to unlock the “alpha” buried in its client portfolios. This includes marketing strategies, segmentation, credit bureau management, testing methodologies, fraud prevention, collections stream evaluation, and much more. These techniques produce incremental value, whether applied to mortgage portfolio modeling or when re-valuing individual mortgages, credit card accounts, auto loans or other financial assets. Corporate Risk Advisors implements practical ideas and tools that bring additional return along with reduced risk to its clients.

Transforming Business Strategy: In conjunction with uncovering hidden value in existing portfolios and business operations, Corporate Risk Advisors can propose new strategic avenues to generate risk-controlled revenues. Due diligence should include compliance reviews, portfolio analytics, integration planning, and activities that contribute to successful post-closing results. Entering new lines of business may involve a review of corporate structure & strategy to evaluate the optimal form of organization and operations going forward. Corporate Risk Advisors can evaluate or propose innovative outsourcing strategies, whether for large scale functions or for specialized services such as legal process outsourcing, so that clients can transfer operational risk to competent providers. Corporate Risk Advisors’s professionals have managed a wide range of enterprises (by size, complexity, and breadth of products) and have experienced what works (and doesn’t work) first-hand.

Navigating Through Crisis: Even with the best laid plans, unexpected risks can suddenly throw an organization into crisis. Survival often depends on having a ready team of seasoned professionals with the legal, financial, regulatory, and public relations skills to work with corporate management throughout the organization. An unannounced investigation & examination will not derail a Corporate Risk Advisors client’s business because this team can be put together quickly and with the right combination of skills to deal with the specific issue. Crisis & litigation management services offered by Corporate Risk Advisors head off those situations where an unexpected lawsuit threatens not only the client’s reputation and financial situation, but could irreparably and permanently damage the business.
