Operational risk analysis
What we do
"The report went point by point, clarifying every issue that we had raised, and we also had a detailed verbal debrief."Country risk director, international logistics company
Operating in emerging and frontier markets presents significant day-to-day operational risks.
Our clients rely on Aegis Advisory to help them guard against regulatory, reputational and political risks. For instance, a company operating in a country recovering from a period of war and lawlessness faces the challenge of complying with local money-laundering laws, home-country bribery legislation and the ever-present risk of reputational damage from poor decisions about partners, suppliers and customers.
Aegis Advisory has developed in-house expertise on money laundering and bribery regulations around the world. We provide our clients with reports that outline the relevant regulatory imperatives of operating in any major jurisdiction in the world, looking both at the theoretical operating environment based on legislation and the actual conditions on the ground.
In addition to providing our clients with timely reference reports, our London-based analysts are also available to advise clients on questions which may arise.
Why us
Our operational risk analysts are experts in their field and are informed about specific conditions in individual markets. By visiting and tracking conditions in those markets and cultivating knowledgeable sources, we help our clients to understand the reality of the terrain in which they operate. Our team includes high-ranking former diplomats and other professionals with long experience in a range of countries, and our extensive in-house language capabilities cover most major markets on all continents.

Aegis Advisory was approached by the Inter-Governmental Action Group against Money Laundering in West Africa (GIABA) to assist it in producing its first threat assessment on money laundering and terrorist financing in West Africa. We deployed specialist information collection teams to seven jurisdictions who engaged with government officials, diplomats, financial regulators, law enforcement officials and people from civil society organisations and businesses, to build the first comprehensive picture of the threat of money laundering in the region. In May 2010, GIABA published the report containing our policy recommendations for GIABA itself and states in the region.
