RSM Bentley Jennison is increasingly being regarded as one of the most progressive professional services firms in the UK today. Through a comprehensive suite of accountancy and business advisory services, RSM Bentley Jennison offers intelligent solutions to a client base that ranges from individuals and owner managed businesses, to large corporations and public sector organisations.   RSM Bentley Jennison offers a number of risk management solutions to help you manage risk. Risk is an issue for every organisation and presents numerous challenges as it reflects the inevitable fact that assets, processes and people can fail, leading to effects that are unplanned and unwanted. Risk has two main components; impact and probability. Impact is a reflection of the pain or loss or discomfort that may be caused by an event. Probability (sometimes referred to as likelihood) is an indication of how often we can expect a particular event to occur. Taken together, they give an indication of our 'exposure' to risk – i.e. how much we can expect to suffer as a result of unwanted, unplanned events.
