Transferring products from A to B quickly and efficiently is the name of the game in the constantly moving world of transportation and logistics. Unfortunately, a myriad of variables means this process is rarely as easy as ABC at the best of times – and 2020 is proving more algebra than alphabet. Navigating a clear course within the sector has never been so challenging. Existing risks have been overshadowed – or in some cases accelerated – by an unprecedented global event that has brought the importance of organisational resilience into sharp focus: the COVID-19 pandemic.

Major banking institutions have been at pains to stress their determination to overhaul their ability to combat financial crime of late – following a string of high-profile corruption scandals. Unfortunately, these claims appear to be words without substance after a disturbing tale of leaked documents, dirty money, and international crime emerged – one that sounds more like something from a Netflix crime drama than the world of regulatory compliance.

The rapid spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has completely blindsided society in 2020, with devastating effect. But was this cataclysmic event a black swan? It appears not. According to the National Risk Register – an overview of the risks of major emergencies that could impact the UK in the next five years – the threat of a pandemic was firmly on the government’s radar: “experts agree that there is a high probability of another influenza pandemic occurring, but it is impossible to forecast its exact timing or the precise nature of its impact.” In fact, of all the high consequence risks outlined in the register – from severe weather to terrorist attacks – a pandemic was considered to have the highest potential impact.
This threat wasn’t classified information reserved for senior figures in Whitehall; it had filtered down to local government level. Take Camden Council, for example, which – like other local authorities – already had information about pandemic risk fed to them by Public Health England. Camden subsequently rated a ‘pandemic flu’ as a 4/5 likelihood and 5/5 for potential damage on its risk register – proof that more high-profile risks like terror and cyber-attacks weren’t their only focus when it came to organisational resilience.

What a difference a year can make. Cast your mind back to 2019: the global defence sector was on the offensive due to budget increases and military modernisation was the plan of attack, as growing security concerns forced governments to invest heavily in new equipment. So much so that international defence expenditure was forecast to grow between 3% and 4% in 2020 to reach an estimated US$1.9 trillion – driven by increased spending in the US, Russia, China and India.

The Brexit process is not known for its rapid progress. Erstwhile PM, David Cameron announced the EU referendum would happen way back in February 2016, but Brexit didn’t become reality until January 2020 – following two general elections, three PMs and seemingly endless uncertainty. Anyone who thought this would signal a bright new future overnight obviously had not read the script. A transition phase was triggered: an 11-month period during which the UK and EU face a race against time to strike a deal on their future relationship. So, as the 31 December deadline fast approaches – 1,653 days since the UK voted ‘Leave’ – the clock is finally ticking on final stages of the Brexit process.
Businesses across multiple industries have found themselves caught between Brexit and hard place during this transition period as uncertainty persevered. With time rapidly running out for the UK and EU to reach and ratify an agreement – and avoid a hard Brexit – risk leaders have been forced to plan for every eventuality.
Trade has been the main narrative during the post-Brexit negotiations. When the transition period ends at 11pm (Brussels time) on 31 December 2020, a new customs border will be created between the UK and the EU – regardless of whether a Free Trade Agreement is reached between the two sides or not. If Boris Johnson pulls the plug on nearly 30 years of EU single market membership, several major concerns might playout:
This has brought supply chain resilience into sharp focus for risk managers. Take the transport and logistics sector, for example, which has been forced to explore proactive measures that can mitigate the potential impact of a hard Brexit on intricate networks – from stock building and automation to dynamic and near sourcing and e-commerce.
The financial services industry — the UK’s largest services export — is expected to weather the initial storm of a WTO-terms departure, having prepared for several years to leave with a ‘no-deal’. This does not mean the sector has a clear path to a smooth relationship with the EU in a post-Brexit world.
Under the withdrawal agreement, the UK forfeited its rights to sell financial products and services freely across the EU – a system known as “passporting”. Instead, access to the Bloc’s financial markets will rely on arrangements known as “equivalence” from January onwards. However, in true Brexit style uncertainty remains, with the scope of single market access available to UK financial services firms under this new system still undecided.
Despite headlines being dominated by talk of a trade deal, the UK’s financial services industry is firmly focused on equivalence – a crucial factor that will influence its future relations with the EU. Favourable arrangements will mitigate the effect of a hard Brexit on the ability of firms to access the EU single market after 31 December. Autonomy is another key consideration because without a deal the UK and EU would be free to develop their own regulatory regimes, bringing the issue of divergence into play – which would in turn place equivalence back under the microscope.
Financial services firms that operate across EU borders must understand several crucial factors: what equivalence will achieve for them on a day-to-day basis, and what a worst-case scenario looks like if it is not implemented – because either way, it will not be ‘business as usual’.
Planning for a post-Brexit future from a risk perspective is a balancing act for UK businesses – one that is being performed blindfolded while negotiations rumble on and key issues remain unresolved. Achieving operational resilience in the current climate means the age-old mantra of “plan for every eventuality” has never been so relevant. Risk managers must, therefore, strike a balance between preparing for an uncertain future and continuing to manage established risks such as cybercrime.
Business solutions are more vital than ever for helping UK-based organisations manage emerging and established GRC risks, strategies and projects, regardless of the outcome of Brexit. We're excited to discuss how Camms’ solutions can assist with your risk management practices.
