Corporate Valuation
Corporate Valuations is the valuation of private financial instruments or organisational holdings, to which its value is intrinsic and may not readily available on market sources due to its private or unlisted nature. Contrary to an asset's book value that can be derived relatively direct from financial statements, corporate valuations usually require complex financial modelling and reflects valuation from future earnings looking beyond the asset's base values.
Our commonly valued private financial instruments includes private equity, non-rated bonds, convertible securities, warrants and options. Generally for the purpose of audit, compliance or investor assuarance, an organisation or individual may require a fair valuation on their private financial instruments to determine its market portfolio value. Commonly used financial models for private financial instrument valuation includes the Black Scholes Model, Binomial Model and Monte Carlo Simulation.
An organisation may require valuation of its holdings for the purpose of asset consolidation, prospectus drafting, or pre-ipo evaluations. In this scenario, the holdings of an organisation is consolidated and valued using a series of financial models, such as the discounted cash flows model to arrive at an estimated value of the organisation's value. At BPM Consultancy, our private corporate valuation services are provided by qualified professionals with experience in valuing private instruments and corporate holdings.

Risk Management Consultancy
Risk is a critical business function that has been commonly overlooked by enterprises due to its attribution as a cost function Risk can take many forms across the entity, from the routine to catastrophic; the well known to the unknown. In the pursuit of growth in an increasingly global economy, an accelerating rate of change may be the only certainty.
Risk is present across all business functions of an organisation, and by taking measures to manage these risks would mitigate costs due to errors and rectifications. In risk management, we aim to reduce and eliminate risks by identifying potential material high-risk functions, putting in place controls and preventive measures to govern and regulate the specific business functions, thereby reducing opportunities of error occurrance and reducing correctional costs.
Enterprise Risk Management (ERM)
Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is a strategic business discipline that supports the achievement of an organization's objectives by addressing the full spectrum of its risks and managing the combined impact of those risks as an interrelated risk portfolio. As organisations experience rapid growth, the increase in corporate functions often leave an organisation at risk of inadequate controls, which might lead to operational weaknesses and loss of income.

Supply Chain Resilience
Supply chains today are complex and global, and for many are regularly disrupted, often opaque and increasingly regulated. Coupled with the megatrends of accelerating urbanization, resource scarcity and the breathtaking pace of technology proliferation, supply chains continue to rapidly evolve and transform.
Increasing resilience and preventing the cost and revenue impacts of these disruptions affects the entire spectrum of supply chain risks – product, supplier, network and environmental – as well as demand chain and back office technology. Companies that focus on supply chain resilience cohesively react to adverse events faster than the competition to take market share and outperform. A resilient supply chain is a competitive advantage, reduces customer perception of assumed risks and moves companies from simple risk management to risk resilient growth.
