Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Ltd. announced the launch of the Deloitte Center for Crisis Management on Tuesday.
The New York-based company said the crisis management service center will operate globally and integrate existing Deloitte capabilities in areas such as forensics, financial crime, cyber crime, and resilience services to help clients prepare for and react to crises, whether natural or manmade.
“Clients are operating in an increasingly challenging global environment where a single mega event or a combination of events can significantly disrupt an organization’s strategic objectives, reputation, and/or existence,” Deloitte Global Crisis Management Leader Jeremy Smith said in a statement. “The Center builds on the Deloitte global network’s deep experience and established reputation in financial and operational crisis management to provide an extensive, end-to-end solution to clients.”
