5 Key Risks for Firms 2021

2020 was a year of crisis management and 2021 looks set to be a year of learning the lessons and re-assessing the “how” as well as the “what” for firms and their business activities.

The continuing uncertainty caused by COVID-19 puts even greater emphasis on the need for risk and compliance officers to prepare their firms for all eventualities.

The risks financial services firms run are firm-specific but there are some high-level risks applicable to all, irrespective of geography and sector.
