Your Company Needs a Compliance Partner for a Reliable Outsider Perspective
Audits.
The word can send a chill down your spine. It’s one of the things business owners dread the most.
It doesn’t matter whether your business is a professional company like a law firm, accounting firm or engineering firm, or if you have a corner store. And it equally doesn’t matter whether it’s an audit of practices or finances.
Yes, audits can be time-consuming and intrusive. They can also be helpful in moving your business practices to a better, higher level.
RCSG is a firm that is expert in preparing firms for an audit. That’s because our training as a business-focused paralegal firm gives us a critical outsider perspective that will likely identify problems before an auditor sits down to examine your business.
As your compliance consultant, RCSG will be out ahead of audits, and will help you to build processes and procedures that will align with local, state and federal regulatory audits whether they are professional or financial in nature.
How does this work and why are we well positioned to do this? The answer comes straight from our background in legal services. RCSG has worked with top New York City law firms that compete for government and large corporate work. This means that these firms may be routinely examined by the government or other auditor as part of a request for proposal process.
One of the great lessons we have learned about being a compliance consultant is that it creates a great opportunity for RCSG to help our clients to improve their business policies, procedures and processes. Even attorneys who believe they have everything covered can learn something once we offer a different perspective on how they can approach workflows, filing, security, bookkeeping or documentation.
This is a really important lesson: compliance can be as much about finding efficiencies as following rules that we sometimes think are excessive or burdensome. It just takes a special mindset to snap that picture into focus, and this is something we believe is among the great advantages offered to clients of RCSG.
Another area where successful preparation for audits is remarkably beneficial is risk management. Firms, especially firms that have been around for a long time, have developed ways of doing things that they are reluctant to change. Sometimes this old and seemingly “tried and true” processes are actually a vulnerability. If you have a long-serving staff that have been doing things a certain way for a long time, their commitment to these processes may have left them blind to security problems that could create liability exposure. This is not good.
This is another reason why a fresh set of eyes, like those belonging to RCSG, can be important. We approach each client in a unique manner that begins with developing an understanding of the best practices in your industry – whether financial, legal, engineering or architecture – and we create methods for testing your internal processes. We do this with an eye toward mitigating issues that could arise with non-compliance of industry or state regulations, and also to expose vulnerabilities. If we find problematic issues, we will work with your team in securing the services of an outstanding and respected professional to strengthen those weaknesses before they become a big liability.
