Mondial has a strong culture of client service, and its management team, consultants and employees have been performing a range of enterprise and related risk management projects for local and international clients since 1995.
Risk management for mining projects
Our risk management methodologies have been developed over many years of experience and are typically custom-designed for each and every client, based on their individual requirements and levels of risk management maturity at the time of our involvement.
We follow international best practice and align our enterprise risk management (ERM) approaches with the requirements of the ISO 31 000:2009 framework on risk management; and/or the Australian-New Zealand standard on risk management – ASINZS4360:2004.
With over 50 years of combined experience amongst our senior staff, we are confident in our ability to design and implement business relevant solutions.
Enterprise risk management (ERM)
Enterprise risk management (ERM) has evolved into a more holistic process of identifying, analysing and managing all risks that may impact on an organisation achieving its objectives. ERM is the result of the search by organisations for a model that provides them with a sustainable and competitive advantage.
ERM, which is now accepted globally, enables any organisation to add shareholder and stakeholder value by early identification of both threats and opportunities and to manage these to the organisation’s best advantage.

Specialist mining project risk management
Mondial can provide specialist advice on project risk management during all phases of capital projects and acquisitions.
One of the fundamentals of effective project management is the identification and management of risks. We identify the risks associated with the design and construction prior to the start of any project. These risks are highlighted and monitored closely throughout the duration of the project.
Ongoing assessment of further risks remains one of our key functions to ensure that the correct management decisions are made to safeguard the projects timeline and budget.
