Fractional Risk and Control Resources
Why choose a Fractional Internal Audit, SOX Compliance or Risk Management Director?
-
Executive-Level Expertise - Get 20+ years of audit, SOX, risk management and compliance experience - at the fraction of the cost a full-time director.
-
Cost-Efficient Risk Management - Avoid the high overhead of permanent hires while keeping your environment audit-ready and compliant.
-
Scalable Engagement - Need 8 hours per week? 3 days per month? Project completed on time? Scale up or down based on your business lifecycle and audit needs. Engagements typically range from 1 to 5 days per month.
-
Seamless Integration - We partner with your finance, accounting, IT, compliance or risk teams as an extension of your leadership team - not just a contractor.
