Sector Business Risk
Sector's Business Risk Team was established in July 2006 as part of Sector's strategy to enhance and expand its range of services to local government and related segments of public sector market.
We have developed a range of Business Risk solutions which are complementary to Sector's portfolio of inter-related services aimed at sound financial planning and management, in a market where the Sector brand has already established a strong presence.
Building on Sector's brand of “trusted financial adviser” we offer our clients risk management advice at a strategic level. Our Business Risk Service is based on a holistic approach, combining all the critical tools used to manage and monitor performance improvement.
We employ an extensive range of expertise in financial and strategic management to integrate risk decisions within business processes: risk becomes a key factor in strategic planning, performance management, asset management planning, project management, budgeting and prudent financial management.
As part of this growth strategy and to meet increasing client demand, we are now seeking to recruit suitably experienced Business Risk Consultants to join our team.
