Risk management, regulatory and compliance

Mitigate risks to enhance your HR strategy

Enhance controls for human capital processes and mitigate risk around HR

HR leaders now confront complex developments in the tax, accounting and regulatory environment. HR leaders should be aware of federal, state and local tax and regulatory requirements to help confirm that retirement, health and welfare and compensation (including equity) programs are up to date.

A company’s bottom line and reputation can suffer if it fails to efficiently manage tax, accounting and regulatory risks arising from HR strategies, reward programs and delivery models. We can help companies pursue a dynamic approach to identify, assess and manage risk to become more risk resilient.
