Process Analysis & Process Improvement

> Do you need assistance documenting financial, operational and/or IT processes?
> Does your organization / department need help with due diligence procedures resulting from a re-organization or business acquisition?
> Are you manually keying in data and are relying on spreadsheets and as a result, have data integrity / access control issues?
> Are you looking for ways to leverage your IT systems and migrate manual processes to your IT systems?

If you answered yes to any questions above, a review of your current processes may be necessary along with a documented baseline of your current state. Process analysis helps identify your organizational, financial, IT and audit risks. It helps determine where controls should be implemented and the improvements necessary to make your processes run more efficiently and securely, while assuring data integrity.

Hart, Brown & Associates can help your organization analyze and document your organization’s current processes and provide process improvement recommendations. We have consulted with companies large and small and helped them leverage their IT systems to automate current processes that have threatened company operations, security and data integrity.

Data Analysis & Data Validation

> Are you adding or replacing legacy systems and converting data?
> Do you need independent validation of the completeness and accuracy of your data from source system to destination?
> Do you need journal entry analysis performed in support of SAS 99 procedures?
> Does data appear to be ‘leaking’ from your revenue system and you need a quantitative analysis of your revenue stream?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, Hart, Brown & Associates can help with your data analysis and data validation needs. Using proven techniques, we have performed data analysis on large amounts of data using powerful tools such as ACL and IDEA. In addition, we have provided our clients with the independent analysis they need to meet their compliance, operational and business objectives.

Revenue Assurance

> Does it appear that revenue is ‘leaking’ through your system involved in the revenue cycle?
> Are you having issues with properly invoicing customers, paying commissions, applying and controlling price discounts?
> Do you know if you have proper access controls in place to prevent and detect inadvertent / malicious attempts to change your IT systems and configurations?
> Have you implemented new systems for the revenue cycle and need to determine if the systems are completely and accurately capturing the revenue data?

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of the questions above, you may want to consider an evaluation of your revenue process.

Hart, Brown & Associates has provided clients with independent evaluations of their revenue cycle, from reviewing processes and controls for order request, order entry, order fulfillment, billing and financial reporting. We can perform risk assessments of your revenue cycle, interviewing personnel responsible for entering, transferring and maintaining data related to revenue and managing reporting of revenue results.

We help companies design and implement controls that are customized to their environment based on their business needs. We can also perform data analysis on large amounts of data using powerful tools such as ACL and IDEA to determine where data leakage is occurring through the revenue cycle and how much has been lost over a period of time.

Information Security Reviews

Information Security has become a hot topic of discussion – made even more complex with the surging popularity of Cloud Computing and virtual environments.

Some key questions and considerations:

> Is your information and data properly classified, logically and physically segregated and properly secured in order to maintain confidentiality, integrity and availability?
> Are personnel connected with your organization (including contractors, vendors and customers) aware of your organization’s position related to information security?
> More importantly, have you properly set up your information security policies to properly govern and control access to critical information and data?

Hart, Brown & Associates can help design, implement and test Information Security processes and controls and provide practical recommendations for remediation items. In addition, Hart, Brown & Associates partners with internal vulnerability scanning and external penetration testing security firms for comprehensive scans of information, data vulnerabilities and points of exploitation. Depending on the scope and depth of review, they can be leveraged to be applicable to other compliancy requirements such as PCI DSS, HIPAA and ISO 27002.
