Ben’s expertise in the areas of risk and compliance management are wide-ranging, and clients frequently seek his advice on topics ranging from business process efficiency and internal controls optimization to internal and external audit matters and mitigation of risk across all risk domains.
Ben works closely with Baker Tilly’s publicly traded clients to address initial and ongoing compliance needs, including Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and other SEC-regulated initiatives. Beyond compliance, he focuses his risk advisory and consulting energies on proactive risk management, collaborating with both small businesses and large enterprises to perform dynamic risk assessments and forward-looking evaluations to help them anticipate and resolve issues before they negatively impact operations or the bottom line.
