Risk Management in Foreign Subsidiaries

The globalization of business activities has resulted in a relative increase in the risks associated with operations abroad. There has been a case in which risks that materialized in a foreign subsidiary dealt a fatal blow to its parent company. Particularly for those companies that have significantly increased the proportion of overseas operations in recent years, risk management in their foreign subsidiaries is becoming far more important than used to be.

Development of risk management in foreign subsidiaries

Since circumstances vary from one country to another, overseas operations could involve various kinds of risks. An effective way to deal with such a situation is to take a step-by-step approach in the order of the significance of risks. Specifically, as the “first step” of risk management in foreign subsidiaries, your efforts in the first year should be focused on addressing the most critical risks of each of your foreign subsidiaries by following the process below. Then, as “subsequent development” from the second year onward, you should move on to implement measures for more comprehensive risk management.
