Risk Advisement

HDS’ experienced risk management specialists help your organization strategically and functionally transform risk management programs to strengthen risk insights, strengthen your risk preparedness, and drive enhanced resilience in today’s increasingly complex and volatile marketplace. We apply a benefits-realization objective to drive effective and value-enhancing engagement models for your enterprise. In mitigating your delta, we maximize predictability, accelerate program execution, and provide you the optimal team and resource structure. We help you both understand your business risks and address that risk in both proactive and responsive contexts – optimizing your compliance, remediate regulatory gaps, streamline your operations, and limit exposure. We deploy diverse pools of controls professionals, compliance specialists, cybersecurity technicians, and risk consultants with industry depth to meet the needs of your programs. 

We guide clients in designing and implementing internal controls and recurring self-audits to safeguard assets and develop cost-effective programs to address all of your mandated reporting requirements. A core capability of HDS is assisting organizations with a strategic controls framework built around automation and analytics.

When risk becomes reality, our forensics team helps you take rapid protective action, restore confidence, and get back to creating value. Our team has a passion for helping clients identify, mitigate, and respond to fraud, regulations, litigation and other issues. With deep experience in financial reporting for the hospitality industry and our proprietary AI-enabled analysis software and compute, our professionals can quickly assess your situation and implement a tailor-made plan to bring you back to business as usual.

Maintaining robust ICFR [internal control over financial reporting] is simply a sound business practice. HDS helps you design and operate an cost-effective and efficient environment with both the right key controls and an extensive collaboration with all stakeholders involved. We give you the flexibility to leverage either our proprietary compliance technology platform and methodology or simply leverage you own. Either way you will benefit from an efficient program with fewer surprises and lower overall audit costs.

Lastly, when preparing a Private Placement Memoranda [PPM] or other investment proposal document for an upcoming venture, we can help you avoid using generic, boilerplate risk factors when papering the deal. We focus on enumerating as many specific, proper disclosures as necessary, with clear and exacting language tailored to your unique use case. This allows you to deliver a recognized, legally sound, and top-tier product that protects both sponsors and investors.
