Prevention is better than the cure
In business, not everything is easy and predictable and risks are an integral part of every entrepreneurial venture.
Simply ignoring that such risks exist is a no-go for ensuring continuity and solidity of a successful business. The only viable solution is to try to control the various risks as much as possible and in such a way, that it does not hinder operations but even allows to explore new opportunities. Investing in preventive measures to secure day-to-day operations and the viability of the company should not be simply seen as an additional cost, but as an important and needed investment in the future of the company. These preventive measures should not be limited to a simple check-list ticking exercise, but should be the results of a real thought process, linked to the following 6 essential questions:
- Do we fully understand the various aspects to such complex topics as economic sanctions, conflict of interest and so forth?
- How exposed are we as a company?
- What preventive and control measures already exist and are they adequate?
- Do you have all the required skills and resources in-house?
- How future-proof are we in relation to the compliance related to these topics?
- How can we combine effective risk-management and constant business growth?
Well-planned prevention and control processes and procedures, combined with providing your staff with the needed specialized trainings, will go a long way towards helping you managing these risks adequately.
