Description

Liechtenstein is a strong market for philanthropic institutions. Foundations, esp. charitable foundations, as well as trusts are examples for philanthropic institutions. This type of institutions often lacks a professional internal know how, thus they often cooperate with external advisors. But these consultants generally do not have a global overview on challenges and risks of the institution.

The purpose of this project is to collect a systematic overview on challenges and financial risks of philanthropic institutions. Final result of this project will be a categorization of risks, their analysis and possible approaches for a risk management. Results will be discussed with philanthropic institutions in Liechtenstein and surrounding countries.
