When Federal Funds Are the Issue: An Audit Response Checklist

Prepare to Respond and Recover

Well-known disasters – 9/11, hurricanes Katrina and Rita, as well as regional power failures – have made entities aware of catastrophic risks. However, too many entities are still coming up short when it comes to contingency planning. Some limit the scope to IT backup solutions and “hot sites,” while many entities end up shuttered (sometimes permanently) because of operational process disruptions that have little to do with IT.

The costs of planning ahead far outweigh the costs of getting caught off-guard.  Our approach to contingency planning starts with an impact analysis of loss of critical systems/processes and ends with a road map for timely response and recovery.

We help entities with operational continuity, disaster recovery, and incident response plans. Crowe Horwath LLP helps you weigh risk-response scenarios vs. the likelihood and costs involved. Crowe helps you test your plans, update them, and get both IT and other stakeholders involved to make them work.

Crowe provides comprehensive contingency solutions that encompass technology as well as process disruption. In addition, our firm has a strong understanding of the growing number of industry regulations requiring contingency planning. Increasingly, top management and governing boards have a fiduciary duty to understand and support contingency plans. Crowe can show you how.
