A significant, sustained interruption of enterprise operations or information flow will have an adverse effect on any organization. Developing a sound business continuity and disaster recovery plan is crucial to preventing even a minor disruption from snowballing into a business catastrophe. An effective process model may prevent the emergence of a crisis.

Our Business Continuity Management team has deep experience in business continuity planning and understands the importance of complying with regulatory requirements and fiduciary responsibilities to avoid potential penalties and litigation.

We assist clients in identifying critical business processes and exploring strategies that include a process-oriented approach that incorporates a business impact analysis (BIA), a risk assessment, risk management and risk monitoring.

Our experts will help you build a strong business continuity plan that maps out an organizational structure with distinct roles and responsibilities and generates well-documented plans, including information technology, business relocation, manual workarounds and data restoration features.

Risk often rises in tandem with change. An enterprise lacking in enterprise risk management (ERM) can become vulnerable, for example, when external certifications are needed to promote business competency, the organization is pursuing a new business venture, special projects arise, or a key accounting, IT or finance professional becomes unavailable for extended periods.

Being inadequately prepared for these events can lead to deteriorating financial performance, lost business opportunities, or even misrepresentations in financial statements.

At Armanino, our ERM framework centers on aligning risk management with enterprise objectives for long-term sustainability. This requires implementing a practical approach to enterprise risk control, one that is integrated with existing management processes, to:

• Provide an enterprise-wide view of risk
• Improve information for decision-making
• Reduce costly surprises
• Rationalize the cost of risk management
• Contribute to long-term value creation and protection

Our subject matter experts in financial, operational and technological risks work with clients to design a cost-effective process with supporting policies to address specific risks, identify mitigating strategies, evaluate technology solutions for reliable reporting and monitoring, and implement the process successfully over time.

We concentrate on the appropriate business areas as efficiently and effectively as possible, creating customized risk models to help provide enterprise risk control throughout an organization.

Armed with a comprehensive and strategic assessment of their risk universe, our clients are well-positioned to evaluate how best to manage their business risks.

Armanino employs a team of compliance experts who are certified to provide HITRUST CSF assessments  on your behalf. Our approach is to optimize your control programs and gain efficiencies for our clients by coordinating HITRUST and SOC controls where possible.
