Borrower Performance & Risk Management
Financial statements and operational metrics only tells part of the story.
August Brown Consulting’s Borrower Performance & Risk Management services augment existing compliance reviews, enabling the borrower or investor to proactively and “intelligently” manage project operations risk rather than wait until it’s too late.
Capital projects rarely fail because the original planning and analysis were wrong. They fail because conditions change, decisions drift, plans evolve and small signals are missed long before the financial statements show a problem.
August Brown Consulting leverages its broad business experience, engineering mindset and operational skills to support managing the risk of already funded projects with more than a review of financial metrics. The “Human” element is always part of the root cause and part of the solution. We engage the project owners and managers in a collaborative partnership to identify potential risks, navigate problems and advise on solutions to mitigate operational risk for lenders and investors.
"August Brown Consulting provides this critical Human" based risk “intelligence” that identifies early warning signals, uncovers what is actually happening inside a business or project, and provide guidance for corrective action before value erosion accelerates."

Borrower Performance Monitoring & Advisory Practice
August Brown’s Borrower Performance Monitoring & Advisory practice is a proactive risk-management service focused on identifying early signs of borrower or project underperformance before they appear in financial statements, covenant tests, or formal credit events.
Most capital providers rely on periodic reporting and compliance metrics to assess risk. While necessary, those tools are backward-looking and often surface problems only after risk has already compounded. In project finance, material risk typically emerges first through operational drift, management behavior, execution discipline, and reporting quality.
August Brown Consulting provides independent, ongoing monthly or quarterly updated performance intelligence that evaluates how a borrower is actually operating and whether risk is stabilizing or accelerating. This service acts as a “Canary in a Coal Mine” for the client.
Our objective is a welcomed engagement that creates a win-win for both the borrower and lender.
Borrower Triage & Stabilization Practice
August Brown’s Borrower Triage & Stabilization Practice is an intensive, situation-driven service designed for borrowers or projects experiencing material performance deterioration or imminent credit stress.
When projections are missed, covenants tighten, or liquidity pressure emerges, lenders and investors are often forced to act with incomplete or conflicting information. Borrowers and management objectives are often no longer aligned with the lender. At that point it is often difficult or impossible to come up with an optimal recovery solution. Our approach in these cases is to be objective and draw on our broad business experience to create a bridge to viable and hopefully optimal recovery solutions.
August Brown Consulting engages the borrower with sensitivity and respect to conduct a rapid diagnosis to identify root causes, assess recoverability options, and clarify available stabilization paths. We provide decision-focused analysis and propose collaborative solutions when possible.
This service helps capital providers act decisively, avoid unnecessary escalation that can accelerate value erosion and optimally turn a potential loss into a valuable long-term borrower relationship.
“We know we have succeeded when the borrower thanks the lender for bringing August Brown into the picture.”
