Strategy@Risk provides strategic risk management software and services. Their models link enterprise strategy to risk management through probabilistic simulation of financial statements and valuation under uncertainty. This allows clients to evaluate risk across strategies, make informed decisions, and increase shareholder value through improved risk management.

In the S@R framework all items, whether
from the profit and loss Account or from
the balance sheet, will have individual
probability distributions (pdf). These pdf’s
are generated by the combination of pdf’s
for the factors of production. Variance will
increase as we move down the items in
the profit and loss account.
