Internal Audit & ControlsNow more than ever, organizations must “do more with less” while continuing to effectively manage risks that may prevent them from reaching their goals and objectives. Business leaders across all industries and sectors are facing growing pressure to increase revenue, reduce costs, improve customer satisfaction, pursue new markets, increase shareholder value and comply with new regulations in an increasingly competitive environment.

How do you plan on staying ahead of your competition? Organizations often respond by simply focusing on deep cost reductions to increase profitability. At MNP, we believe organizations must drive operational effectiveness to achieve sustained productivity gains and promote innovation to create a competitive advantage. But many organizations that undertake such initiatives to optimize performance typically fall short of expectations, mainly because processes are often improved on an ad-hoc basis or the improvement project is isolated to a certain area of the organization.

MNP helps public and private organizations in a diverse range of industries optimize operational performance, fully leverage resources and manage risks - ultimately to develop a strategic and competitive advantage. We believe that operational effectiveness must be achieved in a sustained, strategic manner. As a result, our methodology helps you to instill a culture of continuous improvement in the day-to-day fabric of your business and to implement an organization-wide approach to operational excellence whereby performance improvement initiatives are prioritized based on your strategic objectives.

Our systematic methodology begins with strategically aligning your business processes by designing the appropriate operational structure and optimal set of business processes - with the right governance and controls - required to achieve your organizational objectives. We then focus on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of your business processes by driving opportunities to automate, strengthen, streamline, standardize and centralize existing processes as well as to develop new processes where necessary. It is critical that we do not sacrifice proper internal controls for efficiency. As such, as part of our process improvement solution, we will design and implement an optimal system of internal controls to address the priority risks that could derail the achievement of your goals and objectives.

Our operational effectiveness experts have deep experience applying various process improvement methodologies and will employ the most appropriate methodology for the nature, size and complexity of your organization and the specific issue at hand. For example, Lean Six Sigma is one methodology we may leverage. It is a powerful tool to reduce waste, lead time, defects and errors. Our Master Black Belts can help your organization translate process improvement initiatives into concrete financial results.

Operational excellence can only be achieved if processes are supported with the right people and technology. We work with you to define and develop programs to improve people effectiveness – activities that lead, motivate, develop and support your human capital. We’ll also evaluate your current and planned technologies, infrastructure and support systems to ensure your organization has the appropriate technological capabilities to support your operational processes and help determine if current systems are being used to their capacity.

Internal Audit & ControlsHeightened focus on governance and the need for transparency with stakeholders has highlighted the growing importance of establishing and maintaining an effective system of internal controls to adequately safeguard assets, improve reliability of financial reporting and assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. This includes having a mechanism in place that provides independent assurance that your internal control systems are mitigating risk and highlights opportunities to improve operations and optimize performance through an effective internal audit function.

Our risk professionals will work with you to develop an appropriate system of internal controls to address your top business risks. We can create a tailored, cost-effective internal audit solution to help you achieve effective corporate governance and provide senior management with timely and reliable business intelligence.

Internal AuditWe can assist your organization by establishing an internal audit function or extending the scope of your existing assurance program to both significantly contribute to shareholder value and assist management in fulfilling their operational responsibilities. Having an effective internal audit function is essential for managing risks and strengthening your ability to conduct business through a controlled environment. By applying our proven, risk-based internal audit methodology, we can provide your organization with a cost-effective, value-added internal audit solution.

Our team can facilitate the development or execution of your internal audit plan through a range of sourcing options that enable you to expand scope and improve operations. Outsourcing part or all of this responsibility enables you to look after the overall strategy and operational priorities of your organization, while we handle the day-to-day function of internal audit. Strategic co-sourcing is a cost-effective solution to ensure you have the right resources. We can provide a resourcing solution if your internal audit department is challenged with issues related to operational priorities, specialized expertise, geography or capacity. Our specialists will partner with your existing internal audit team to provide assistance when and where it is needed most.

We can also help ensure the effectiveness of your internal audit function by conducting a quality assessment review to benchmark your audit function against leading professional practices and industry standards.

CEO/CFO CertificationComplying with CEO / CFO certification requirements such as Sarbanes-Oxley 404 or National Instrument 52-109 can be a complex process. Companies must adopt a practical, streamlined approach to avoid the excessive costs of a ‘one-size-fits-all’ strategy. We employ a top-down, risk-based approach designed specifically to help organizations achieve sustained compliance in a cost-effective manner. Our methodology is firmly based on ‘doing it right the first time’ and eliminates the need to rationalize or optimize key controls in future years. We will also leverage the benefits of the compliance process to create enterprise value by identifying operational improvement opportunities and benchmarking against leading industry practices.

you have the right resources.

While some organizations may choose a ‘do-it-yourself’ approach, working with a qualified, independent party offers a number of significant benefits. Our team has extensive CEO / CFO certification experience, and our third-party, independent reviews provide additional credibility to support management certifications when subject to external scrutiny. Engaging an independent team also enables internal staff to focus on other value-added priorities, while reducing the need for additional hiring costs during times of higher resource demands to meet certification requirements.

Compliance Regardless of the sector, every organization is subject to some form of compliance requirement, whether it is regulatory, contractual, statutory or public sector mandates. We have a dedicated team that can help you understand your universe of compliance requirements, establish formal policies and procedures, implement a system of internal controls to address your priority risks and develop a program to evaluate and monitor compliance. Our team has deep experience in performing compliance audits both in the private and public sectors. Through our proven methodology, we deliver reliable audit programs and reports to satisfy any of your compliance requirements.

Business Resilience

Our world has changed. We live and work amid new and emerging threats — fiscal crises, extreme weather and environmental change, terrorism, fraud, workplace violence, pandemics and a host of natural and man-made threats that have wreaked havoc on our business and operating environments. To further complicate matters, globalization and fierce competition have created even greater risks and being prepared is critical to your organization’s future success.

A disruption or crisis can have long-term effects on the financial, operational and overall health of your organization. Industry studies report that two out of five companies that experience a crisis do not survive. Many organizations do not have adequate programs in place to ensure continuity of operations that will protect the enterprise in the event of a crisis and satisfy the expectations of board members and key stakeholders. Today, organizations must be able to do more than just recover business processes and technology after a disruption.

Organizations are expected to identify and mitigate:

• Major disruptions of key operations

• Loss of key vendors/partners

• Loss of key people

• Breaches to buildings, critical infrastructure, information and technology

• Threats and potential damage to revenue, customer service, reputation and brand

Developing effective strategies to proactively identify and manage these threats are your best defense in an ever-changing world. Individual plans and programs are critical, but true resilience is achieved by integrating effective programs and linking them to your organization’s overall risk based strategic planning process. MNP can help you develop plans and programs that integrate and mutually support one another to achieve the synergies for effective resilience.

Fraud and security issues are becoming more common and more complex. As the rate of fraud and security incidents continue to escalate, it is important organizations respond aggressively to these challenges. Working closely with you, our Forensic and Enterprise Security professionals deliver innovative strategies that help you proactively identify, assess and respond to these threats.

ForensicsFraud can strike your organization at any time. Regardless of the known direct financial impact, anything less than a full and proper response will have a significant impact on your most important asset: your reputation. In a crisis, you must respond quickly and send a clear message that unethical conduct will not be tolerated. MNP’s forensics team will help you meet those needs.

• Investigation In a recent economic crime survey, 55 per cent of Canadian businesses reported being victims of economic crime. North American estimates put corporate losses due to fraud at six per cent of revenues. Our forensics specialists have investigated complex financial crimes on a national and international scale in diverse industries.

Using proven investigative and forensic accounting techniques in tandem with computer forensics and data mining tools, we will develop and deliver an independent, professional response to any issue, enabling you to focus on your core business. The MNP team will qualify and quantify the impact of ethical breaches, and help you manage the administrative, regulatory or judicial process. We will also develop a remediation plan to minimize your losses and manage the risk of reoccurrence.

• Prevention Our risk professionals can show you the hidden exposures you didn’t know existed to prevent losses and reputational damage. MNP’s fraud risk assessment is designed to pinpoint gaps in your internal controls. Once the risks are identified, we will work with you to manage them in a way that is consistent with your corporate culture. Through our comprehensive fraud awareness training sessions, your staff will be able to recognize suspicious or fraudulent activity and come forward to report these activities to prevent losses or further damage.

• Detection Early fraud detection is a key step to cutting fraud losses, generating a return on your investment. MNP will provide proactive fraud audits of high-risk areas. By combining our team’s expertise with your team’s in-depth knowledge of your organization, we will customize our approach by focusing on key accounts and transactions, and apply a broad range of investigative and forensic accounting techniques. This enables us to analyze large volumes of data for suspicious activity using computer-assisted audit techniques and special purpose software that quietly monitors the potential exposures that keep you awake at night.

Research indicates that establishing a whistleblower hotline can reduce fraud losses by 50 per cent.
