Kroll launches economics and decision intelligence practices

Kroll, a risk and financial advisory firm, has announced the creation of two new practices: Kroll Economics and Kroll Decision Intelligence.

The New York-headquartered firm says the two practices are a response to client demand for insights to enable faster decision-making amid global economic and geopolitical uncertainty.

Kroll Economics will deliver solutions in geoeconomic forecasting, scenario and risk analysis, policy and regulatory insight, and market intelligence. The practice is led by Matt Corkery, a London-based managing director, and supported by teams in London, Sydney, Dubai, and Delhi.

Kroll says its economics practice leverages AI and real-time data to swiftly provide insights that assess opportunities in economic growth, interest and inflation dynamics, commodity price movements, and tariff developments, among other areas.

Kroll Decision Intelligence will support business leaders by transforming complex financial data into practical insights. The practice will provide AI-powered solutions ranging from transaction analytics and intelligent reporting to data monetization to help clients improve margin, profit and loss accounts, and balance sheets.

The decision intelligence practice is headed by Rob Moody, a London-based managing director, and supported by teams in New York, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Delhi.

“Clients are facing unprecedented challenges - volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity - across every aspect of business strategy and operations, and they demand trusted, uncompromised, technology-enabled solutions,” said Michael Dolan, president, financial advisory, Kroll. “These new practices give leaders the clarity, consistency and confidence to move quickly and make better decisions to stay ahead of change, as well as to protect, restore and maximize business value.”

Kroll has in the last year launched several other practices, including a fund solutions practice that support PE and investment funds with end-of-life challenges, and a trade and customs practice.

Kroll has more than 6,500 global professionals delivering services in investigation and disputes, corporate finance and restructuring, compliance and regulation, cyber risk, valuation, ESG, and business services.
