AUDIT SOLUTIONS

 

for de novo

Financial Institutions

 

 

AuditOne LLC

AuditOne has considerable experience working with new as well as established institutions.  We recognize the unique, internal audit needs of de novos as you try to balance the demands of regulator and shareholders.  We’re sensitive to the cost pressures faced by management, looking to avoid unnecessary expenditures but at the same time leery of cutting corners in areas that regulators might deem necessary.  And just as important, the failure to put in place a solid process for monitoring your organization’s progress at identifying and controlling key risks can quickly derail success in marketing or other arenas.

 

With all this in mind, we’ve put together the outline that follows as a rough roadmap for de novos to help determine what your critical audit needs will be over the first couple of years.  The operative word is “rough”, simply because banks will vary in their circumstances and needs.  We’ve worked, for instance, with banks that have come out of the gate richly capitalized and with aggressive growth plans who have prudently elected to go with a full menu of audit services right from the start.  But for others starting out more cautiously, we’ve found that the basic minimum of engagements, as shown in the milestones below, may well suffice. 

 

In addition to these audit needs, AuditOne is well placed to provide related advisory services, pre- as well as post-start-up.  We have assisted banks in areas such as policy writing, vendor selection, walkthroughs, and security and compliance requirements.  Our auditors bring a tremendous depth and breadth of knowledge and experience to all our engagements – whether for today’s de novo institutions or for those long past that stage.
