Services
As a two-person company, we bring a combined seventy plus years of public and private experiences, both domestically and internationally. The following are the services we offer which can demonstrate any organization’s commitment to integrity and ethical business practices:
Complaint Intake & Whistleblower Program Evaluation
A customized review of the client’s policies, procedures, and operations for their complaint intake and whistleblower program. A well-structured reporting mechanism with anonymity and/or protection for those who disclose critical information is the foundation of any organization committed to ethics and integrity. Our evaluation encompasses the full life-cycle from receipt of a complaint to reporting final disposition, including the programs’ design, advertisement, training of staff, how to evaluate the initial information, proper documentation, programs’ compliance with legal requirements, if applicable, and much more. We also assist clients who wish to create or enhance their complaint intake structure via automation.
Prevention & Detection Training
Our company’s training is customized to the client’s procurement methods, thereby ensuring the content is delivered consistently within the procurement environment of which it operates. We also have a collection of customary training modules that have been developed and delivered for a broad range of professions, including auditors, investigators, fraud examiners, law enforcement officials, procurement professionals, and others.
Procurement Fraud & Abuse Risk Assessment
An individualized assessment of our client's unique degree of risk(s) to the traditional misconduct schemes of procurement fraud and abuse. It includes pinpointing which of the schemes are most likely to occur within the client's procurement processes and the potential impacts if those schemes are not prevented, detected and/or reported. The results are summarized and contain cost realistic recommendations consistent with the client's business structure and risk tolerance thresholds. Our
assessments are consistent with recommended global methods utilized by the United Nations and the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions.
Procurement Integrity Assurance Review
An organization-wide evaluation of the client's policies, procedures, and operations to ensure they are implemented correctly in order to provide reasonable assurances regarding the prevention, detection, prompt reporting, and capability to respond to the risks of improper contracting. We use an evaluation method designed around our proprietary PICS Procurement Integrity Control System model. This exclusive model aligns with the International Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission - Integrated Framework, the U.S. Government Accountability Office Framework for Managing Fraud Risks in Federal Programs, and the various best practices reported by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.
