Professional Practice Health Check
You have dedicated your career to looking after the health of others. We’ve dedicated ours to the health of your practice. To check in on where your practice stands, our team analyzes five key areas.
Where Your Practice Stands
By looking into these areas of your practice, we can identify opportunities for growth and provide solutions to challenges.
-
Forensics
Without proper levels of diligence, fraud can easily slip by undetected in a professional practice. We help protect your practice from fraud by conducting a semi-annual review of your banking, accounting, and data transactions. Not only will you be more easily able to spot and resolve instances of fraud, potential fraudsters will be deterred by the knowledge that you are actively monitoring your financial risks.
-
Operational Effectiveness
Our team can help you identify opportunities for improving your operations and profitability. By understanding the risks unique to your practice, we ensure the processes and controls supporting the practice are properly designed, from booking patient appointments through to establishing financial reports and performance measures to support you in monitoring the success of your business.
-
Privacy Services
One of the biggest challenges for professional practices is the collection, recording and retention of the significant amount of confidential client information you receive. Professional practices are required to comply with certain privacy legislation, but lack the appropriate controls in place to support compliance with privacy legislation. We help you meet requirements by developing a customized framework and an internal control structure aligned with your information systems.
-
Cyber Security
Cybercrime is evolving and professional practices are a frequent target. Protect your practice with thorough cyber security plans and stay ahead of the curve with the help of advisors who monitor ongoing trends.
-
Business Resilience
Building a successful practice is hard work but sustaining it can be just as tough. Business resiliency plans help ensure your long-term viability while delivering peace of mind that you’re ready for what comes next.
