Definition of Risk: “Bad things happen, people could get blamed” or “Good things happen, people may not know.” Risk Management challenges and performance objectives go hand-in-hand for a global organization, post 9/11 and post Sarbanes Oxley, taking everything from Governance Performance, Compliance, Fraud, Cyber Crime, Concept Theft, Workplace Discrimination and Confidentiality Breaches into account as contemporary threats in today's business world. However, the traditional deterrents of stand-alone manual, or isolated, internal control processes, periodic audits, specialty devices and electronic barriers no longer meet the needs of these high-risk business environments. The horizontal, organization-wide thinking of "Integrated Risk Management" is essential for survival, performance and sustained success. Integrated risk management is the consideration of all risks to an organization and the creation of responses that utilize current assets and consider the entire organization before program implementation. It includes a fundamental shift from a vertical, top-down, organizational structure and thought pattern to one that is horizontal and company inclusive. A risk in one department is a risk to the entire organization and must be considered as such. The result is enhanced performance of an organization through risk management solutions that in turn provide efficient, low-cost, sustained competitive advantage. Risk Analysis Group (RAG) is the only solutions provider with this sophisticated approach to financial security, physical security and overall risk management. Our goal is to be the premiere authority in ethics-based Corporate Governance, Corporate Performance, IT security information and threat assesment for the domestic and international business community organized into three main segments: • Financial Risk Management and Corporate Performance • IT Security • Organizational/Physical Security A Los Angeles-based international consulting services and solutions provider, Risk Analysis Group has made a science of integrated risk management.

Tyne & Wear, England, United Kingdom

The Rubb Group manufactures prefabricated, portable structures, buildings, and shelters and custom structures for many applications. There are two common features: a well-engineered steel frame and a PVC coated polyester fabric cover which is tensioned over the frame to provide a tight fitting shell. Variations include provision of alternative materials such as steel cladding or aluminum frame members, but essentially the concept of prefabricated, relocatable construction remains. Rubb structures are available in single spans of 3 meters (10 ft.) to over 79 meters (260 ft.) by any length. Standard module distances vary from 3m (10 ft.) to 5m (16 ft.) Multispan options are also available to provide for even larger structures. Side and gable walls of Rubb buildings are vertical to provide maximum space utilization. A primary advantage of the Rubb design is its ability to be provided in virtually any configuration to suit your needs. Other major benefits of Rubb structures are their speed of delivery and erection, minimal foundation requirements and complete relocatability or extension at any time. This portability provides several advantages over conventional structures and allows quick response to changing circumstances. Because Rubb products are so easy to deploy or relocate, an investment in a Rubb structure should never be thought of in the conventional terms of "fixed assets". Rubb buildings are often resold and put to an entirely different use elsewhere in the world so there is never a danger of making a serious investment mistake when you specify Rubb. Rubb has earned a reputation for tackling difficult and unique projects. We have developed substantial structures which can be moved about on wheels or rails or even lifted around a job site in fully erected form. We offer a strong commitment to compliance
