Risk Management and ESG in Asia

Our services are designed to help businesses strengthen internal controls, address regulatory obligations, and identify vulnerabilities across departments or jurisdictions.

Core areas include:

• Internal audits and financial compliance reviews
• Fraud prevention and control advisory
• Risk mapping and operational assessments
• ESG advisory and sustainability performance monitoring
• Support for SOX compliance, whistleblowing, and anti-bribery frameworks

The service mix is tailored to client industry, size, and maturity stage—ranging from one-time reviews to fully managed risk programs.

Clients across different sectors face distinct regulatory and operational risks. For example:

• Manufacturing firms may need ESG monitoring and inventory audits
• E-commerce platforms often require cybersecurity and data compliance reviews
• Service businesses tend to seek governance, licensing, or internal policy support

We work with companies in industrial production, logistics, tech, financial services, education, and healthcare—adapting our approach to sector-specific risks and regulatory dynamics.

It’s not always obvious where risk exposure exists—until a control failure or compliance issue triggers scrutiny. This is especially true when expanding, entering a new market, or integrating unfamiliar reporting standards.

Our advisory services focus on risk visibility: identifying potential weaknesses in operational processes, internal governance, or financial reporting. From there, we help design mitigation frameworks that protect business continuity and stakeholder trust.

Responsibility for ESG typically spans several departments: HR, finance, legal, and operations all play a role in meeting environmental, social, and governance goals. Yet, many companies struggle with accountability, data tracking, or regional reporting standards.

We support ESG efforts through:

• ESG strategy development and stakeholder mapping
• Implementation of monitoring systems and KPIs
• Emissions reporting and materiality assessments
• Training for internal teams on ESG compliance expectations

Clients can adopt either limited-scope ESG frameworks or comprehensive systems depending on their goals.

Costs vary significantly depending on the depth of reporting, tools required, and industry. For some companies, a basic ESG review may involve minimal advisory time, while others may need a full implementation roadmap supported by data software.

We help clients assess how to scale their ESG investment based on internal capacity, reporting obligations, and stakeholder expectations. This phased approach allows companies to evolve their ESG maturity over time.

Yes. Policy development is often a key component of building sustainable risk and compliance frameworks.

We assist with:

• Code of conduct and ethics drafting
• Anti-bribery and whistleblowing policies
• ESG reporting guidelines and disclosure protocols
• SOPs for internal controls and audit readiness
• Policy rollout and internal training coordination

Each policy set is customized to reflect company values, regional regulations, and sector best practices.

Effectiveness is typically measured through both internal and external indicators—such as audit results, control breach reports, or staff training coverage. Companies often lack a structured method to track these metrics consistently.

We help define measurable compliance indicators (e.g., exception rates, response times, audit pass rates) and design review processes that keep governance systems active and responsive.

Unexpected risks—whether regulatory inquiries, fraud events, supply disruptions, or system failures—can quickly escalate into reputational or financial damage.

We work with clients to develop contingency protocols, simulate incident response scenarios, and review critical systems for operational resilience. Our goal is to help organizations move from reactive to proactive risk management.

Most engagements start with a discovery phase—an informal assessment of your current compliance structure, risk exposure, or ESG position. Based on this, we provide a tailored proposal outlining services, timelines, and internal stakeholders needed.

From there, clients can choose between comprehensive risk programs or modular reviews based on immediate needs.
