I had the opportunity to speak to Gary W. Patterson recently, the self-styled FiscalDoctor. He gave me a copy of his eBook, Five Areas Where Risk Can Lurk, which is an extract from Stick Out Your Balance Sheet and Cough: Best Practices for Long-Term Financial Health. It’s chapter 4, and it looks at how you can assess your company’s financial fitness, which will give you some ideas of places to look for project risk.
