Assess Issues – Bridgepoint reviews your current GRC programs and compares them to leading practices. This measures
the effectiveness of current programs while identifying areas of potential improvement. We understand that one-size-does-not-fit-all so
we approach each company as a unique situation and our assessment reflects such.
Design Solutions – Bridgepoint works with your organization to develop an overall strategic view of GRC. We help you
create a roadmap to achieve your strategic views, and assist you in creating the “nuts and bolts” action plans. We work with what you
already have in place and identify enhancements which make sense in your situation.
Sustain & Monitor – Bridgepoint professionals roll up their sleeves and work alongside your organization to assist
in implementation of sustainable GRC programs. Whether it’s project management, detailed process and procedure development,
conducting audit procedures, or training and communication, we can help you move toward your goals.
The Bridgepoint GRC Approach
Example: Bridgepoint Consulting has implemented internal audit functions for organizations following forensic
investigations that uncovered mismanagement and fraud. Following years of lax corporate governance oversight,
Bridgepoint was hired for a multi-year collaboration with management to improve systems, processes and the related
internal control environment through sustained governance monitoring. Examples of internal audit coverage include
the following:
• Organization-wide risk assessment and internal control design evaluation
• Prioritized, risk-based internal audit plans
• Order-to-cash processes, including risk of fraud
• Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI/DSS) compliance
• IT security and penetration testing
• IT system implementation independent oversight
• Disaster recovery and business continuity planning
• Expenditures (purchase-to-pay) risk management and fraud detection controls
• Payroll
• Benchmark operations’ current state to leading practices for gap analysis – IT, Finance, Call Center, District Operations
• Safety program compliance
