Areas of Practice
IT Risk and Assurance
The world of information technology is ever growing and evolving - and we’re not just talking about cybersecurity trends. With the consistent introduction of automation and new SAP/Oracle/JE upgrades, your opportunity for profit grows but so does the complexity of the business environment. We take pride in clearly explaining and navigating the often foggy landscape of IT risk and its relationship to consistent and predictable results.
Automation
The way work is done is constantly in flux. We anticipate these changes so you can focus more on executing your strategy. Among our prior successes, we have automated complete business cycles to reduce manual intervention in processes thereby reducing the risk of errors. We draft and develop automation processes, tailoring each project according to a clients’ requirements and appetite for automation risk.
Internal Audit Reviews
Internal audit rules are like the Wild West. There is a lot of potential for internal audit to provide value in measuring business success but the rules, on their own, can be convoluted and vague. Being an effective third line of defense requires honest and intelligent discussions with management teams. A successful review requires creativity and flexibility. We provide boutique internal audit reviews that can fit your needs. With an extensive network, we partner with top talent to ensure that technical requirements are met.
Annual Internal Audit Planning
With so many risks and constantly replenishing sources to watch out for, tracing the root cause and underlying risk in business requires the laser-focused eye of a trained auditor. We can handle the interview, analysis and synthesis of internal audit planning. If your budget has been infringed upon, our team will negotiate the best possible audit plan.
Independent Board Advice
Demystifying risk is in itself a creative practice. It requires finesse, strategic structuring, and, in many ways, appreciation of the overall business strategy. The risk and opportunities presented to a board are profoundly strategic. In such matters, meditation or reflection on risk almost always yields the most fulfilling results. However, should the occasion arise, we are more than prepared to advise boards on the strategic implications of risks. From large publicly traded companies, to small non-profits, our clients have always walked away with a better understanding of their risks.
Project Assurance
Whether you run a theater, a cafe, or an eCommerce website, all businesses need to minimize the risk arising from transformative projects. We will work with you to assess your business strategy, the proposed transformation, and the project plan. From there, we will tailor project risk plan, complete with checkpoints, scope analysis and independent advice. We will ensure appropriate planning and execution of controls relating to technology implementations so you can worry less about your projects and concentrate on growing your business.
