Pre-implementation reviews

If your organization is implementing a new system or tool, or going through a system conversion, you need visibility into common challenges and clarity on how to address those challenges. Pre-implementation reviews can help, even under tight timelines

Evaluating the design of controls is vital prior to a change event

Pre-implementation reviews aren’t a documentation exercise – they can drive real action for your team.

Organizations are constantly undergoing change events, from system conversions and new system implementations to business acquisitions. These events can be exciting for companies, but they also introduce significant risk and complexity, particularly related to internal controls over financial reporting.


Why choose to do a pre-implementation review?


Reduce risk: Evaluate potential system risks prior to going live, leaving you time to find and implement solutions.


Reduce costs: By fixing issues before the launch of your system, you can avoid costly redesigns and rework.


Level out the work: Because pre-implementation reviews are designed not just to catch issues but to identify risks early, the findings can streamline future audits.
