Getting Started

Treasury Controls

A treasury function manages some of the most critical assets of a company. The data is highly sensitive and valuable. It is also heavily scrutinized both internally and by many external entities. Therefore, internal controls around the treasury function must be well defined and followed. Ensure your financial instruments are properly managed, optimized, meeting agreements, tracked and recorded, and secured.

Insider Threat Mitigation Program

Company employees, contractors, and other insiders poise a significant threat to your data security. If not managed properly, the risk of an intentional or unintentional data breach increases significantly. An insider threat mitigation program ensures the continuous evaluation of operations, employee involvement, and safe keeping of your critical data.

Financial Crime - Anti-bribery

An organization is responsible for ensuring a person within your organization or a company performing services for your organization does not commit bribery on your behalf. Companies that do not implement adequate anti-bribery controls can be held liable for failing to prevent a person from bribing to benefit your organization. But adhering to a structured anti-bribery program provides a defense against prosecution and can mitigate the financial impact if one is caught breaking the law.

Financial Crime - Sanctions

Sanctions are government restrictions on the import or export of certain goods and services, often to or from a specific individual, company, or country, to advance foreign policy objectives. Conducting business with a sanctioned entity creates severe legal and financial liabilities. Avoid penalties by developing a sanctions governance program to help manage economic sanctions and trade embargoes.

Outsourcing Labor

Focus should be on what differentiates your business from others. Your strength is where a difference is made, not in performing non-core work that many others can accomplish. Whether someone else does the task, job, service, or operation locally, on premise, offshore, or nearshore, proper controls will help ensure a successful outsourcing relationship.

First 100 Days for Leaders

Many leaders/managers are promoted or hired into a new role and expected to establish themselves immediately. This is rarely realistic. But when a company follows a structured approach during the first 100 days and provides guidance for each person moving into a leadership position, stress is reduced and productivity leaps. Most important, the chances of retaining a new leader are greatly increased.

Workplace Democracy

The task of attracting and keeping talented employees is becoming more difficult as it becomes easier to move between companies. Workers are looking for something more meaningful. Focusing on employee participation, or participative management, provides strong motivation to employees. By giving employees more input into decision making, a company becomes more attractive, and an employee sees more opportunities for personal and professional growth. The openness of workplace democracy builds trust and dedication, leading to increased performance.

Organizational Change Management

Change is a given and a requirement for long-term success for any business. Therefore you must constantly be prepared to change your organization, but even more important, that the organization is always accepting of and willing to change. Develop a governance program to enable unceasing organizational change management. Implement key change processes that keep you organization focused on looking forward to new opportunities and continuous improvement.

Change Control Governance

Physical and digital changes are constantly made in business operations. But connected to each change is often a chain of other actions to consider, both before and after the change. Changes to processes, products, or services has serious ramifications to your success and reputation if done incorrectly. Change control is meant to reduce the chances of a key item being missed or not communicated.

Disaster Recovery Plan

Like life insurance, a disaster recovery plan (DRP) is something you hope never to use but it definitely helps if something disastrous happens. A DRP addresses the possible risks to all your key systems, without which your business would have difficulty functioning. Whether a disaster caused by employees, criminal elements, or nature, preparedness is critical to returning your business back to full functionality.
