Baseline Builder™
Proprietary Risk Assessment, Audit Testing and Remediation Tracking Tool


Process Partners' heritage as a process focused consulting firm has facilitated the understanding of the value of effective and practical internal controls and the recognition of the need for an efficient governance, risk management and compliance process. This understanding led us to develop a compliance process and a proprietary tool (Baseline Builder™) that has significantly improved the efficiency of tasks, and the accuracy and the retention of documentation.

Situation

Management is confronted with escalating compliance requirements and the increasing importance for strong corporate governance using an enterprise risk management (ERM) framework while identifying design and effectiveness issues within the internal control framework. Management's challenge is to provide an effective approach which requires specialized technology skills and tools. Management is concerned with the level of costs incurred to support the information technology assessment process verses the value derived.

Opportunity

An effective governance, risk and compliance program understands and leverages technology and tools. Process Partners has the opportunity to achieve substantial benefits by leveraging proprietary technology to enhance the ability to monitor risks within the governance, risk management and compliance process.

Approach

Process Partners knows and understands the key criteria and the most effective process for applying technology within an effective governance, risk and compliance program. Baseline Builder™ integrates key governance, risk and compliance documents and maintains them in a central database that ensures an effective and efficient IT general, application, financial and operational controls compliance initiative.
