Expertise
-
Our project leaders have experience across a number of disciplines, follow a systematic approach to assessing risk, and are experts in managing stakeholder expectations.
Risk Management
Outcomes and consequences are never certain, and every operating decision entails some level of risk, so risk management should be included in every business decision. Some agencies have practices in place within certain functional areas, but few integrate effective risk management across the enterprise in a manner that:
  • Ensures consistency across functional silos
  • Provides for a well-defined and broadly communicated risk appetite that drives risk-reward decisions
  • Enables investments in risk treatment in areas providing the highest return on investment, thereby improving organizational value
Cambio is a thought leader in enterprise risk management (ERM) and believes ERM should be an integral part of any organization’s efforts to maximize value.
Risk Governance
Risk governance is a continual process. Our consultants possess proven systematic mechanisms for evaluating and improving risk governance proficiency. We help agencies identify, prioritize, and implement initiatives, and provide executives with visibility into the organization’s progress toward developing an effective risk governance process.
Internal Controls
Our practitioners have developed and managed internal control programs for a number of federal agencies, and will bring leading practices, established methodologies, and expert level knowledge of related guidance, such as the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-123. Our team specializes in the following:
  • Assessment of compliance with A-123
  • Establishing and evaluating controls over new open government reporting requirements
  • Creating an integrated internal control compliance and monitoring program
  • Implementing an efficient governance, risk, and compliance framework
  • Integrating internal control assessments with related processes—including financial audits—to maximize budget dollars and achieve a more efficient internal control process
An effective internal control program allows executives to make informed decisions through relevant, accurate, timely, and reliable financial information. Cambio contributions lead to unqualified audit opinions, minimize risk for the agency, and reduce waste, fraud, and abuse.
Compliance & Governance
Cambio works with federal agencies to ensure their compliance and governance frameworks, practices, and organizations are robust and managed in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, and that any compliance issues are addressed quickly, effectively, and efficiently.

“The essential challenges.…are  namely how to understand the micro-details of the silos, and see how all the macro-pieces add up. And that is a challenge that is likely to intensify, not diminish, in the coming years.”

- Gillian Tett, The Dangers of Silo Thinking, 
The Financial Times, October 2009
"The danger is that a silo mentality can cause a disconnect from the big picture, leaving almost everyone unaware of the interconnectedness of risk.”
