PROVIDING ASSURANCE IN A CHANGING WORLD

Companies benefit when they have effective internal control over financial reporting. Investors need to be confident that organizations accurately represent their performance. That’s why companies with good SOX compliance track records, on average, perform better in the market. Executives demand that their S0X efforts are delivering both compliance and value to the organization.

Third parties play a critical role in organizations. Partnerships with vendors often represent the fastest, most efficient way to deliver new products, goods and services. However, using third party vendors comes with its own set of risks and challenges that could have negative effects to the company’s operations and compliance framework if not managed effectively.

TCG can help build an effective vendor risk management program for your organization. Our consultants use industry best practices and the latest technology to provide expertise in the areas of contract management, vetting and approval, invoice monitoring, and fraud detection.

In today’s world, Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) is a core component of every business, going beyond meeting compliance requirements as a key driver of company’s overall business strategy. EHS is an initiative for companies that want to not only comply with regulations and industry standards, but also be better environmental stewards, and provide their employees with a safe and healthy workplace.

TCG allows organizations to ensure compliance with EHS, manage risks, reduce costs, streamline operations, train employees, and build an effective communication plan. Our services range from building EHS programs from the ground up to supporting your organization’s existing plan.

We quantify losses and, where possible, help clients identify recovery options. We also work with companies to identify fraud risk factors and recommend changes to strengthen internal control to help prevent and deter fraud.

Having a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) allows organizations to respond to risks that impact business operations, protect their people and brand, earn revenue, and remain compliant with regulations. Companies need to stay ahead of these risks by understanding priorities, planning for disruptions, and employing good business practices to increase their ability to right the ship when things go wrong. 

TCG helps companies prepare and build resilience for the unknown, manage risk and develop sustainable business continuity programs. Our services range from building BCP programs from the ground up to supporting your organization’s existing BCP plan and management process.
