Internal Audits, Risk Management, and Process Improvement

We work closely with your management team to assess and manage ongoing enterprise risks as they relate to technology, regulatory compliance, and overall business processes.  

The Benson Group provides solutions across these functional segments of your company:

Internal Audit

  • Evaluation of internal audit groups: charter, organization, reporting relationship, staffing levels, and professional practices

  • Integrated audit implementation
  • Computer Assisted Audit Techniques (CAATS)
  • Audit staff augmentation: IT, operational, and functional auditors

Compliance
We leverage what you may already have in place to satisfy various regulatory compliance needs, cross-referencing rather than duplicating documentation:

  • Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404

  • E-discovery laws
  • GLBA,  HIPAA, and ADA compliance
  • State or federal banking regulations
  • Industry specific requirements

  • Development of policies and procedures
  • Proactive, ongoing monitoring of compliance
  • Pre-audit or pre-exam reviews

Enterprise Risk Management

  • Identification of key business risks
  • Evaluation of management of key business risks: business processes and how technology supports the business processes
  • New software selection process
  • Technology assessments related to mergers and acquisitions
  • Business continuity/disaster recovery

           
Overall Business Process Improvement

  • Operational and integrated audits of functional areas: process and technology components 

We can also provide training to your employees on these and other topics:

  • Outsourcing of business functions: RFP development, identification of possible providers, and evaluation of RFP responses
