Red Flags and Early Warnings: Spotting Risks Before They Become Issues

Effective risk spotting starts with drawing regulatory boundaries and monitoring structures stay within them. Anticipate disputes by mapping friction points, documenting positions, and agreeing escalation paths. Define acceptable risk by aligning thresholds, evidence standards, and decision rights to fact patterns. For high risks such as rapid growth, opaque ownership, cash intensity, sanctions exposure, act quickly: deepen due diligence, strengthen controls, limit activity, seek second line challenge, and review decisions periodically.
