Tim Leech, ROS CEO and founder first proposed objective centric management driven risk and control self-assessment with CAE Bruce McCuaig to the Keith McWalter, CEO at Gulf Canada Resources in 1985. 35+ years later he still believes that strong management driven objective centric risk and uncertainty management is key to success, particularly in high change environments. After setting up Control and Risk Management Services, a first of its kind practice at Coopers & Lybrand in 1987 focused on forensic accounting and CRSA global demand for CRSA training and advisory services continued to grow. In 1991 Tim founded MCS Control Training and Design which morphed in to CARDdecisions. CARD stood for Collaborative Assurance & Risk Design, the foundation and trademark for the CARDdecisions service and product lines.
In 1995 KPMG worldwide licensed CARDdecisions methodology and tools for global deployment. At the peak of that relationship 22 KPMG partnerships around the world were licensed to use CARDdecisions tools. Success implementing control and risk self-assessment with major clients including Mobil and BellSouth in the U.S, Telstra in Australia, RBC in Canada and Boots and BAA in the UK helped CARDdecisions built and successfully launch the world's first integrated risk and and assurance management software - CARDmap in 1997. In 2000, CARDdecisions took CARDmap to the cloud and began to offer software as a service to clients around the world. In 2004 Leech sold CARDdecisions to Paisley Consulting, a top three internal audit software vendor and became Paisley's first CHIEF METHODOLOGY OFFICER. He left Paisley, now Thomson Reuters in 2007. Since then he has been building and helping clients implement his second generation of disruptive thinking - Strong 1st Line/Objective Centric/Demand Driven RISK & UNCERTAINTY MANAGEMENT.
Tim is founder and Managing Director at Risk Oversight Solutions. His focus for the past 30 years has been promoting the business case for, and helping organizations implement, strong management driven objective centric risk and uncertainty management. He has received awards for outstanding contributions from CPA Ontario, IIA, ACFE and OCEG. His work in the field of strategy and risk governance has been recognized by articles published by Harvard and Columbia Universities, London School of Economics, the IIA, Conference Board, and many others.
