BancWare ERisk's Mission

Our mission is to help our clients transform the critical elements of their risk management processes with the goals of increasing decision-making effectiveness, reducing losses, and increasing shareholder value. The basic principles of our work are:

Risk must be managed on an integrated, enterprise-wide basis.
Traditionally, different risks - such as credit risk, market risk and operational risk - have been managed within the same company by different people, different systems and in different ways. In recent years, however, it has become increasingly apparent that this "silo" approach fails to capture all potential problems. Risks, including those that cause catastrophic damage, can fall between the silos. And risks in the real world tend to be complex and inextricable combinations of the familiar basic risk types. Managing them individually does not permit the coordination necessary to prevent real threats to the efficient operation of an organization. For this reason, an increasing number of firms manage risk on an integrated basis across the entire business enterprise, reporting and controlling all types of risk, in all of their activities, under a single framework.

BancWare ERisk specializes in helping organizations to design, implement and utilize risk management structures, processes and frameworks at the enterprise-wide level. Incorporating market, credit, operational and ALM components, our solutions provide the most comprehensive and inclusive picture of your risk profile and plan of action. Anything less would be an incomplete and potentially “risky” approach.

Effective risk management mitigates risk, but also creates value.
Risk management's roots lie in preventing and mitigating problems, and this remains an important role. An organization that fails to manage risk competently will sooner or later find itself struggling to perform adequately, raise funding or even to survive. However, this is only part of a fuller definition of risk management as the discipline that attempts to protect and create value. That means not only defusing threats, but also identifying opportunities to deploy capital resources more effectively, to capitalize on market inefficiencies and to improve your competitive positioning. Clearly, every business decision involves both risk and return. Consequently, better understanding of both risk and return contributes strongly to better decision-making at all levels of the organization, and so increases value creation.

From our enterprise software solutions for economic capital and RAROC, to our high impact consulting solutions, BancWare ERisk has the most expertise at helping organizations to improve many of the core elements of their business that lead to increased return and shareholder value. With over seventy clients, BancWare ERisk has the widest range of expertise in the area of risk management as value creator, including: risk based pricing, capital deployment, M&A decision making and loan loss reserving.
