The need for fiscal transparency and vigilance has never been greater. Oversight and financial controls are critical whether a project is public or private, a public-private partnership, or centered on disaster recovery. Through major investments from the public and private sectors, market conditions elevate concerns about potential fraud, waste, and abuse throughout the project cycle. The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) estimates that in 2018, project costs increased by 5% to 25% because of fraud, waste, and abuse. No project is exempt from the risks of those problems, so a comprehensive compliance and monitoring program is essential.
The recovery and rebuilding that follows natural disasters like Hurricanes Florence, Harvey, and Irma is arduous. Affected communities, and the government agencies supporting them, benefit most from a complex coordination of boots on the ground assistance, scrupulous financial oversight, and across-the-board project management. From Hurricane Katrina through 9/11 through Superstorm Sandy through many other natural and man-made disasters, CohnReznick has supported federal and state agencies in managing major recovery programs, overseeing grant distribution, reducing fraud, waste, and abuse, and bringing relief to those in need.
Protecting the public trust. Spending taxpayer monies efficiently. Helping communities recover from natural disasters.

Globalisation, consumer empowerment, changing demographics, innovation, and technology acceleration… these are the trends driving business transformation. Investors expect real-time insight into portfolio and asset performance. Customers demand new ways to engage with brands and push a demand chain model versus a traditional supply chain model. And if your enterprise isn’t utilizing analytics, IoT devices, and cloud-based platforms, you’re not keeping up.
Technology and data drives every aspect of your business — finance, operations, productivity, customer experience, and performance. For many organizations, technology has become core to competitiveness. Yet, because it can be infinitely complex, the true potential of technology can go unrealized. CohnReznick Advisory provides next-generation thinking to align the opportunities to your vision.
