FSO - San Antonio - SDC Risk - Internal Audit Staff - Winter 2021

Job description

In a rapidly evolving business environment, risk can come from every angle — upside, downside and outside — and can be hard to see, anticipate and respond to, as a result creating disruption. Organizations look to us to transform their approach to risk – to turn it into a means to not only protect the enterprise but create value. Our Risk practice helps organizations embrace risks with trust and confidence, enhance their risk functions and harness risk intelligence to generate fresh value through aggressive innovation that gives them a competitive advantage. Our Risk practice is building a better working world by being insightful advisors that understand and anticipate risks and respond with offerings to help organizations achieve strategic objectives, maintain stakeholder trust, and attain sustainable growth by supporting their efforts to protect business performance.
