Back to Financial Risk

The timing of professional help is one of the strongest determinants of outcome in financial distress, yet boards routinely wait too long, hoping the position will self-correct. Early engagement widens options, lowers cost and evidences responsible conduct; delay does the reverse.

This report addresses how early to seek professional help in your chosen jurisdiction and industry: the framework for identifying the right trigger points, and the scenarios that warrant immediate engagement.

It covers the warning indicators that the moment has arrived, and hedged ranges for the cost of early versus delayed action.

It also sets out the governance controls that prompt timely escalation, and clear guidance on which adviser, whether counsel, auditor, restructuring or financial-risk specialist, to engage at each stage.
