About JLA What We Do Client Service Risk Insights Partner Network

 

What We Do

JLA provides clients with tailored solutions in the following areas:

Consulting Services

We provide a full range of risk consulting services, ranging from establishing a vision and plan for enterprise-wide risk management, to developing specific risk policies and analytical tools, to designing key risk indicators and dashboard reporting for senior management and the board.

Training Services

We provide training programs that address the specific needs of the target audience. This includes risk awareness programs for boards and senior management, as well as workshops on specific risk topics such as enterprise risk management and operational risk management.

 

Our Approach

Our approach in working with clients is driven by their individual needs. Generally, we establish the following client arrangements:

  • Senior advisor role. Clients who need an independent senior risk advisor would retain us on a monthly or project basis. As a senior risk advisor, James Lam works directly with clients to address their risk management challenges and opportunities. He usually works with the CEO, CFO, CRO, or the head of a risk management function. As needed, he is supported by 1-2 specialist consultants.

  • Integrated team approach. Clients who need a traditional consulting project would retain us to improve the effectiveness of their initiatives. We would work with the client’s internal staff and external consultants to form an integrated team. JLA has successfully partnered with other consulting firms, ranging from specialist firms to the “Big 4.”

  • Annual retainer. Clients who need longer-term support and advice would retain us on an annual retainer basis. This program is designed for clients who need a senior advisor on a longer-term basis to support risk management initiatives.
