End-to-End Risk Mitigation Implemented Under Tight Timelines
Backstory
A leading financial services company carrying out a large merger encountered an urgent need for support handling complex Global Risk and Compliance (GRC) policies, regulations, and SOX implementation. With merger-related deadlines looming, it was imperative for the client to test for GRC standards to better manage risks and meet specific compliance requirements. The client had under 30 days to build and scale a team to support this initiative, and sought partnership to deliver complex application testing, development, and execution toward GRC standards.
Solution
The Select Group was called in to support the client’s post-merger integration, rapidly scaling a team to meet an urgent timeline. From writing the testing plans to performing the actual control testing, TSG leveraged deep integration experience to provide end-to-end risk assessment support and process improvements throughout the merger process.
