Strategy & Risk

How I Learnt to Stop Worrying and Love the Risk

Fact: ‘My name is Trent and I take risks.’ While this may sound like a paradoxical statement given the inherent conservatism of my chosen profession I still, however, assert that this personal disclosure holds true.

At times this was born of irrational fear but, more often than not, it reflected a need for greater control over my life.

Governance

Not for Profit, Not for Fraud

We trust our staff. We are a values based organisation. We don’t have any fraud here. Let’s clear this up once and for all. It is likely that you do have some form of fraud or corruption happening in your organisation; you just don’t know about it yet. More often than not some of your staff will be either involved, or at the very least, aware of its existence. Any questions?
