Project Risk

The Lifecycle Audit is a survey of project risks in adverse operating environments. Findings account for high-probability impacts at the project site, on a 36-month outlook, with viewpoints taken from municipal and federal authorities on key risk outcomes.

Using a 10-point survey of event risks linked to supply disruption, regulatory interference and community issues in frontier markets, the Lifecycle Audit offers a reliable view of outcomes on a 12, 24 and 36 month-timeline. Our scenario-based methodology, combined with local sourcing, is a proven strategy for conflict mitigation and risk offset in the frontier.

The Lifecycle Audit is prepared in executive format to satisfy the diverse needs of stakeholders in alternative asset financings. Findings are presented at incremental levels of detail, offering summary recommendations for creditors, with more extensive country-intelligence for local brokers and site-managers.

Findings are presented in a concise viewing format with key recommendations presented on a location basis rather than a country or regional level. Deliverables for the Lifecycle Audit are as follows:

Final Recommendations overview of the primary risk to output production, if any, with a proprietary rating on security conditions and the viability of risk countermeasures.

Key Judgments accounts for the persistence of risk conditions in the 36-month outlook and whether it may be desirable to modify the equity position as a result.

Regional Security Trends survey of national issues affecting the project site, with focus on regime continuity, the disposition of armed forces/police and combatants.

Project Risk Trends identification of event risks at the project site in the 36-month outlook, with an order of severity graded by probability and scope of impact.
