In assessing risk level, consider the consequences of failure or poor service delivery due to capacity or cash flow constraints in terms of replacement costs, legal fees and project delays. The complexity and term of contract are also important factors as is the political profile and impact on stakeholders.
These reports are especially useful when dealing with companies that are new to you, when you have any concerns about a company’s capabilities or just need an independent referee check.
