Risk Management

StarMarc’s Risk Advisory practice works closely with clients to assist in the management of risk and the achievement of strategic business objectives through proper internal control systems. Our professionals provide the value-added risk management capabilities needed to mitigate business risk, support business strategies and continuously improve operational performance. Our Risk advisory services include:

Compliance

StarMarc provides a range of compliance services that includes Sarbanes-Oxley and regulatory matters. By aligning compliance programs with organizational strategies and objectives, we assist clients in establishing a compliance program with greater accuracy, reliability and cost-effectiveness. Our methodology can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of implementation of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, one of the most contentious and costly aspects of SOX requiring management and external auditors to report on the adequacy of the company's internal control over financial reporting.

Corporate Governance

Organizations face a variety of corporate governance concerns as well as intense internal and external scrutiny. A strong ethical foundation is required to support an appropriate culture of corporate governance. Our professionals assist clients by conducting corporate governance assessments and by providing design and implementation services. We help our clients develop policies and procedures, monitoring structures and educational and oversight programs to support proper corporate governance. Our professionals also assist clients in developing strategic organizational frameworks that can help an organization conduct self-assessments of its existing corporate governance practices.

Enterprise Risk Management & Internal Audit

StarMarc advises organizations on their approach to designing and implementing an enterprise risk management function that is practical and cost-effective. We assist clients by providing internal audit services, which enable organizations to leverage our methodologies, technology and experienced professionals to deliver a proactive, risk-based function.

Fraud Prevention

StarMarc has in place an effective anti-fraud program that can help to significantly reduce the risk of fraud and increase the likelihood that, if fraud does occur, it will be detected at an early stage. This can only be achieved with full support from an organization and proper implementation. StarMarc’s fraud prevention services assist in promoting best practices designed to promote an environment that reduces the risk of fraud and allow it to be exposed early should it occur. Seasoned fraud investigators developed the StarMarc's Fraud Prevention practice based on the skills and insights they gained through conducting numerous fraud investigations. An anti-fraud program can help an organization identify, remediate and monitor the specific risk factors that set the stage for fraud.
