Risk-based plans, controls testing, model validation, and the findings that follow. Each practice is led by the partner whose career is in it. We do not do financial statement audits or attestation engagements.
Risk-based plans, fieldwork, and reporting that pass committee scrutiny.
Controls testing across infrastructure, applications, and third parties.
Scoping, walkthroughs, and remediation for first-time and seasoned filers.
Credit, market, AML, and AI/ML models — independent of model development.
Program reviews, look-backs, and tuning for transaction monitoring systems.
Assessments, control design, and forensic support when a case requires it.
Control environment, governance, and reporting infrastructure ahead of S-1.
Findings the audit committee can act on. Three findings, not thirty.
Independence is a refusal, not a claim.
We do not perform financial statement audits or attestation engagements. Those services require a kind of independence we choose to keep for the audit committee instead — the freedom to advise on the design of controls that another firm will later opine on.
We also do not accept engagements that put us on both sides of a transaction, represent parties in active litigation involving current clients, or take retainers from issuers in our own families' portfolios. The list is short on purpose. Each item is non-negotiable.
