Welcome to PPB - Recovery, Forensics, Advisory


PPB RISK ADVISORY

PPB Risk Advisory was established in 2005 in response to requests from PPB’s bank clients for strategic credit advice and outsourced services. Initially, we were approached to perform hindsight reviews in respect of credit files where there was a requirement within the bank to understand the events leading up to losses being incurred.

More recently, the increased emphasis on risk management within banks has meant that PPB Risk Advisory has been asked to get involved much earlier in the credit cycle

PPB Risk Advisory has the resources, experience and technical expertise to work with our financier clients to develop better practices and manage risk during this difficult environment, being at all times mindful of stakeholder expectations.
