International Business Risk Intelligence (IBRI)

International Business Risk Intelligence (IBRI) is a proactive and strategic approach to identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks that may affect an organization's operations, assets, reputation, or financial well-being. IBRI involves gathering, analysing, and interpreting information from various sources to provide actionable insights and intelligence to decision-makers within a business.

ZeroRisk offers advice and assistance on the following:

  1. Proactive Risk Assessment: focusing on identifying risks before they materialize, allowing organizations to develop strategies to mitigate or minimize their impact. This involves analysing internal and external factors, such as market conditions, competitive landscape, geopolitical events, regulatory changes, and emerging threats.

  2. Comprehensive Information Gathering: this involves gathering information from a wide range of sources, including open-source intelligence, social media, industry reports, news outlets, public records, and specialized databases. This information is collected, analysed, and processed to extract meaningful insights and identify potential risks.

  3. Analysis and Intelligence Generation: The collected information is analysed and transformed into actionable intelligence. This involves evaluating the relevance, credibility, and reliability of the information, identifying patterns, trends, and correlations, and assessing the potential impact on the organization.

  4. Risk Mitigation Strategies: Based on the intelligence generated, we assist organizations to develop targeted risk mitigation strategies. These strategies may include implementing enhanced security measures, adjusting business processes, investing in new technologies, establishing crisis management protocols, or developing contingency plans.

  5. Continuous Monitoring and Updating: An ongoing process that requires constant monitoring of risks and the evolving business landscape. Information is continuously updated and analysed to ensure that organizations stay informed about emerging risks and can adapt their strategies accordingly.

  6. Collaboration and Communication: Involves effective communication and collaboration between different stakeholders within the organization, such as executives, risk managers, security teams, legal departments, and relevant external partners. Timely sharing of intelligence and insights ensures a coordinated and informed response to risks.

  7. Integration with Decision-Making: Is integrated into the decision-making processes of the organization. The insights and intelligence generated through IBRI help inform strategic planning, resource allocation, investment decisions, and risk management strategies.

International Business Risk Intelligence (IRBI) aims to provide organizations with a proactive and comprehensive understanding of risks to make informed decisions and enhance resilience. By identifying potential risks in advance, organizations can take proactive measures to prevent or mitigate potential damage and maintain a competitive advantage in a dynamic business environment.

Corporate Fraud

Corporate fraud refers to deceptive and illegal activities carried out by individuals or groups within a corporation or business organization. The perpetrators of corporate fraud typically seek personal gain or advantage at the expense of the company, its shareholders, or other stakeholders. Corporate fraud can take various forms, including:

  1. Financial Statement Fraud: Manipulating financial records, misrepresenting financial information, or inflating revenues or assets to deceive investors, creditors, or regulators.

  2. Embezzlement: Diverting funds or assets for personal use or unauthorized purposes, often by employees entrusted with financial responsibilities.

  3. Bribery and Corruption: Offering or accepting bribes, kickbacks, or other illicit payments to influence business decisions, gain unfair advantages, or secure contracts.

  4. Insider Trading: Illegally buying or selling stocks or securities based on confidential or non-public information, in violation of securities laws.

  5. False or Misleading Disclosures: Providing false or misleading information in corporate communications, prospectuses, or public statements.

  6. Misappropriation of Intellectual Property: Unauthorized use, theft, or sale of proprietary information, trade secrets, or intellectual property belonging to the company.

  7. Procurement Fraud: Rigging bids, inflating prices, or engaging in other fraudulent activities related to the purchasing or procurement process.

  8. Identity Theft and Fraudulent Schemes: Using stolen identities or engaging in fraudulent schemes, such as false invoicing or fictitious transactions, to obtain funds or benefits.

ZeroRisk works closely with its clients to adopt:

  1. Strong Internal Controls: Implementing robust internal controls, segregation of duties, and regular audits to prevent and detect fraudulent activities.

  2. Ethical Culture: Fostering a culture of integrity, ethics, and transparency throughout the organization, supported by a code of conduct and regular ethics training.

  3. Whistleblower Mechanisms: Establishing anonymous reporting channels, such as hotlines or online platforms, to encourage employees to report suspected fraud without fear of reprisal.

  4. Risk Assessments: Conducting regular risk assessments to identify and mitigate areas vulnerable to fraud, such as weak controls on supply chains or high-risk processes.

  5. Data Analytics and Monitoring: Utilizing advanced data analytics techniques and technology to proactively identify anomalies, patterns, or red flags indicative of potential fraud.

  6. Investigation and Legal Action: Promptly investigating suspected fraud incidents, engaging forensic experts if necessary, and taking appropriate legal action against perpetrators.

  7. Collaboration with Authorities: If required, co-operating with law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, and legal professionals to ensure proper handling of fraud cases and adherence to applicable laws.

Frequently asked questions

How do you assist companies who want to invest in other countries?

Having identified where your company is likely to invest, we have a team of risk analysts ‘in country’ that will perform a deep dive of country intel to forecast geopolitical risk, establish the stability of the country and your specific business district. We will leave no stone unturned to assist you in where and when it’s safe to invest.

What role does intelligence play in risk advisory?

Having intelligence is crucial for achieving business success, and frequently, through our thorough intel gathering efforts, we furnish you with insights about companies, investors, or associates that could significantly influence your decision to proceed.

What kind of fraud investigations have you been involved in?

We have been engaged on several high-profile fraud investigations from targeted blackmailing of execs to international product chain fraud where an individual or a group have managed to increase the price of a raw material product without the client knowing. In this type of case a small increase in cost over several years has led to $millions being extorted from the company.

What has been one of the most complex tasks that you’ve undertaken?

One of our ongoing tasks is to assist various clients in ‘de-risking’ a country that has become too difficult to trade in, and by working with our clients we have managed to assist in selecting and setting up business in surrounding countries.

Have you helped in cases of arrest / detention and how have you helped?

Unfortunately, yes, as this has been one of our specialist risk response services over the years and we’ve had everything to deal with from ‘arrest at the airport due to Visa violation to negotiating the release of house arrest due to the execs being accused of a financial discrepancy with a company who happened to be owned by the government in that country.
