When you’re in the midst of a crisis, the road to clarity isn’t always straight-and-narrow. Without a proper business risk strategy in place, it can be difficult to make sense of the complex situations at play—which, in turn, can leave you vulnerable to economic, reputational, IT, operational and regulatory risk.

At Grant Thornton, we work with you to balance the needs of competing stakeholders and establish a foundation for effective risk management. With the proper processes and strategies in place, it then becomes easier to lay out your options in a clear, timely fashion; weigh the costs and benefits of your decisions; and make informed choices about how and when to proceed.

Our Forensics team can help you navigate a wide range of issues, including (but not limited to):

  • Anti-money laundering
  • Corporate intelligence/Investigative research
  • Dispute resolution
  • Expert witness
  • Forensic accounting
  • Investigations
  • Whistle-blower reporting solutions

To learn more about how we can help your organization rapidly mitigate and respond to a crisis, contact us.

Anti-money laundering

Foreign and domestic money laundering is a huge problem world-wide, and Canada is not immune. In fact, it’s a multi-billion-dollar criminal activity in this country — one that enriches criminals and finances terrrorists.

Whistle-blower reporting solutions

More and more companies are now choosing to implement a whistle-blower program, and for good reason. Employee confidence is fundamental to a successful business, but a reprisal-free forum to voice concerns isn’t just about employees. There are some very practical benefits for management, including the potential for cost-savings that are to be had if fraud is discovered.

Governance, risk & compliance

As experienced and impartial advisors, we deliver governance, risk management, and compliance solutions. You will have access to a range of people and services that will help you achieve that optimal balance between minimizing risk exposure and optimizing profitability.

Internal audit

Organizations thrive when they are constantly innovating, improving or creating new services and products and envisioning new markets and growth opportunities.

Certification — SOX

The corporate governance landscape is challenging at the best of times for public companies and their subsidiaries in Canada, the United States and around the world.

Specialty assurance

For service organizations that provide outsourcing services and handle sensitive client information, trust is your currency. Managing information technology, or providing payroll, procurement, financial or other services comes with numerous challenges and risks.

System Organization Control (SOC)

Establishing credibility and building trust are more important than ever for service providers. As organizations continue to outsource various aspects of their businesses and rely more and more on hosted Software as a Service (SaaS) applications, the need to proactively address the operational, financial, and reputational risks related to service offerings has become an important step in gaining client confidence.
