We have a strategic Alliance with UpSide Risks, consulting firm specialized in risk management. Same is composed of professionals and practitioners who dedicate only to such matter. This combination makes us really experts in what we do and allows us to permanently go forward in this sector.

To assume a risk means to expose oneself to the occurrence of unexpected events, whether favorable or unfavorable. In the first case, we have to take advantage of that and capitalize the associated benefit. In the second case, the company has to be able to cope with the consequences without letting problems making it go bankrupt.
Risk management implies capitalizing the ups while controlling the downs. It is about strategy, not audit.

Risks have different origins: financial, operating, political and strategic. All of them have potentially the same importance for companies, which means that we have to assess their effects on cash flows, on the company’s value, on reputation, on the ability to motivate employees and on many more aspects of the day-to-day activities of the organization.
