Financial Risk Management is a proactive approach to safeguarding your business from potential financial losses. It involves identifying, analyzing, and mitigating various risks, such as market fluctuations, credit defaults, liquidity issues, and operational disruptions. Through advisory services, risk assessment tools, and strategic planning, Prima Consulting helps businesses develop a comprehensive financial risk management framework to protect their assets and ensure long-term financial stability.

There are four primary categories of financial risk that businesses need to consider:

  1. Market Risk: Fluctuations in market prices, such as stock market downturns or currency exchange rate changes, can impact a company's profitability and financial health.
  2. Credit Risk: The risk of a borrower defaulting on a loan or debt obligation can lead to financial losses for lenders and creditors.
  3. Liquidity Risk: The inability to meet short-term financial obligations due to a lack of readily available cash can significantly disrupt business operations.
  4. Operational Risk: Internal factors, such as human error, technology failures, or inadequate processes, can lead to financial losses or reputational damage.
Prima Consulting offers comprehensive risk management solutions that address all four types of financial risk, helping businesses build resilience and achieve sustainable success.

There are five fundamental risk management techniques that businesses can employ:

  1. Avoidance: When possible, eliminate exposure to a particular risk.
  2. Retention: Accept and budget for potential losses associated with a specific risk.
  3. Spreading: Distribute the impact of risk across various assets or investments to minimize losses.
  4. Loss Prevention and Reduction: Implement controls and procedures to reduce the likelihood and severity of a risk.
  5. Transfer: Transfer the financial burden of a risk to another party through insurance or contracts.
By understanding and applying these strategies, businesses can proactively manage risk and protect their financial well - being.

Yes, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are mandatory for listed entities in Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Organisation for Certified Public Accountants (SOCPA) adopted IFRS standards in 2017, requiring all publicly traded companies to report financials following these guidelines. Prima Consulting's IFRS Advisory & Accounting Services provide businesses with the expertise and support needed to ensure seamless compliance with IFRS regulations.

Companies in Saudi Arabia adhere to accounting standards issued by SOCPA, which are fully compliant with IFRS. These standards include additional requirements specific to the Saudi Arabian context, such as Zakat (religious tax) considerations. Our team of IFRS specialists can help you navigate the nuances of both IFRS and local accounting regulations.

IFRS 16 Leases is a specific International Financial Reporting Standard that outlines the principles for recognizing, measuring, presenting, and disclosing lease arrangements for lessors (those who provide the leased asset) and lessees (those who rent the asset). Prima Consulting can assist businesses in implementing IFRS 16 and ensuring accurate financial reporting of lease agreements.

Expected Credit Loss (ECL) modeling is a crucial accounting method to estimate potential future losses on loans or financial assets. It considers factors like the probability of a borrower defaulting (PD), the severity of the loss if they do default (LGD), and the current exposure of the loan (EAD). Our ECL Modeling and Derivative Pricing Services provide businesses with the tools and expertise to develop robust ECL models and make informed financial decisions.

A standard formula to calculate the ECL rate for usually performing loans is ECL = PD x LGD x EAD. However, ECL calculations can become more complex for different loan types or scenarios. Prima Consulting's financial risk management specialists can guide you through the ECL modelling process and ensure accurate calculations for your needs.

Yes, annual financial audits are mandatory for various business entities in Saudi Arabia, including private limited liability companies, partnerships, and joint-stock companies. Compliance with audit requirements is essential for maintaining regulatory transparency and fostering investor confidence. Prima Consulting's Internal Audit & Governance Services can assist businesses with the entire audit process, ensuring adherence to regulations and providing valuable insights to improve financial controls and overall business performance.

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations are becoming increasingly crucial for businesses operating in Saudi Arabia, aligning with the nation's ambitious Vision 2030 goals. A key focus of Saudi Arabia's ESG strategy is to diversify the economy and reduce dependence on oil. This includes a significant push towards renewable energy sources, aiming to generate 50% of the country's electricity from solar and wind power by 2030. Prima Consulting's Financial Advisory Services team can help businesses integrate ESG principles into their operations, improving sustainability, attracting talent, and expanding into new markets.

ESG measures a company's commitment to environmental responsibility, social impact, and good corporate governance. Businesses prioritizing ESG principles demonstrate a long-term perspective, responsible management practices, and a commitment to ethically operating. This can lead to several benefits, including:

  • Enhanced brand reputation and stakeholder trust.
  • Improved access to financing and investment opportunities.
  • Reduced operational risks and regulatory compliance costs.
  • Attracting and retaining top talent who value sustainability.
  • By embracing ESG principles, businesses in Saudi Arabia can position themselves for sustainable growth and contribute to the nation's economic diversification goals.
