Examination Readiness Services

Baker Tilly provides examination readiness and consulting services tailored to your needs. Examination readiness services are recommended six to twelve months (or more) prior to your examination. 

If you have received a notification letter from your state regulator advising you of an upcoming examination, a Baker Tilly consultation is a great starting point to understanding how to plan, prepare for and address the upcoming examination.

• Understand the risk-focused examination process as it exists today
• Assist management in preparing responses to the initial examination data calls (Exhibit B, C), first day letters and preliminary surveys received at the notification of an upcoming examination
• Understand the corporate governance structure and provide feedback on how management can improve overall governance to satisfy regulators expectations
• Prepare management for “c-level” interviews conducted by the examination team
• Provide insight and assist management in determining your organization is in compliance with, or has established procedures to address compliance with, certain state specific regulations, statutes and rules
• Review management’s risk identification processes, including enterprise risk management processes (ERM), and provide feedback on maturity of the process and a gap analysis

• Understand management’s control environment, and assist in mapping controls and mitigating strategies to risks
• Communicate proactively through conference calls and meetings to answer questions and provide assistance during the examination process as desired by management
