Risk Advisory

Assess, manage and mitigate risk in all its forms

Financial, technological, regulatory and operational risk is inevitable, but organizational harm from inadequately managing that risk is highly preventable. 

At CFGI, our Risk Advisory experts have extensive experience helping organizations optimize the many facets of risk management. 

How CFGI helps

We can assist with internal audits, interim management and staff augmentation, compliance, internal controls, process assessments and countless more risk management solutions.

Some of the core risk advisory services we provide include:   

SOX compliance and internal audit

We have supported hundreds of SOX implementations and have provided ongoing support for those implementations. We deliver outsourced and co-sourced SOX and Internal Audit services, COSO mapping, and more. Our Big 4 background gives us the perfect context and knowledge to provide you SOX and Internal Audit support that will be relied upon by your external auditors, reducing your audit fees.

Risk management

We provide assistance with enterprise risk management (ERM) to build out an effective Internal Audit charter and ensure the audit universe is comprehensive and responsive to the risk your organization faces. We can also conduct financial, IT, operational and fraud risk assessments to help your organization make strategic operational decisions.

We supply highly skilled interim management services for roles including Chief Audit Executive, Director of Internal Audit, and finance and IT staff augmentation.

Integration support

Together with our IT Risk Advisory team members, we aid in system and application selection and provide implementation support. We also help with the cross-functional aspects of managing risk across systems, including vendor risk assessments, project management, governance, acquisition integration and more.
