About us
THE PAPER BIRD PHILOSOPHY
The origami Paper Bird on our logo, echoes the ethos of this business. It is a Philosophy, embodied within our core values. Firstly, the bird’s view signifies the Difference of Perspective, the proverbial "Bird’s - Eye View” which is critical during the decision-making process. The bird’s ability to fly is a representation of our ability to move quickly, change direction and be agile in an ever-changing regulatory landscape. Birds are also able to form strong bonds with others and this speaks to our culture of coaching and customer connection. Another well-known saying “Killing two birds with one stone” speaks to the need for problem solving to be simplified and to increase productivity levels, and lastly, the proverbial saying "A Bird in the hand is better than two in the bush". A critical thinking strategy toward effective risk management – meaning it’s better to hold onto something one has, than to risk losing everything.
Risk & Compliance Management have both an ethical and a practical component and this is why we believe in the creation of an environment where decisions are not made behind closed doors and inconvenient facts are not papered over. We bring transparency and objectivity to decision making and will help you do things right and grow your business to the next level.
Compliance from a business viewpoint is something that makes your business operate within regulatory boundaries. However, for many financial services providers, compliance has evolved from an isolated business prevention unit to a commercially focused business partner. Compliance when done well can allow your business to become a lean, mean, high-performance machine. In other words, having an effective Compliance Management Program is not only the right thing to do; it also makes good business sense. Good governance, risk and compliance strategies can make businesses more competitive and allows for inspired leadership and innovation as it helps to define what a company does, how it does it and why it does it. A company’s performance is often challenged by internal threats (more so than external threats) and compliance exposes unacceptable conduct.
