Pre-implementation reviews
Pre-implementation reviews focused on control readiness
At TLB, pre-implementation reviews support organizations undergoing system implementations, conversions, or other change events by evaluating the design and setup of key controls before they become operational.
These reviews help bring visibility to potential risks and operational challenges at an early stage. By assessing control structures ahead of implementation, organizations can address issues proactively and move forward with greater clarity.
Supporting system changes with early risk visibility
System changes often introduce complexity, particularly in areas connected to internal controls over financial reporting. TLB conducts independent assessments focused on how controls are designed and implemented during transition phases, helping teams identify concerns before they affect operations.
The objective is to provide actionable observations that support smoother implementation and reduce disruption during later audit or operational stages.
Why consider a pre-implementation review?
Pre-implementation reviews provide an opportunity to address risks before systems go live, helping organizations avoid avoidable challenges during and after implementation. Early evaluation allows teams to resolve issues without the pressure of live operations and supports more efficient future audit processes.
Key focus areas include:
- Early identification of system and control risks prior to go-live.
- Addressing issues before redesign or rework becomes necessary.
- Supporting smoother audit processes through early risk identification.
Key areas reviewed during engagement
Pre-implementation reviews focus on risks that may affect control effectiveness once systems become operational. Our typical areas of review include:
- Data integrity and accuracy of information flows.
- Data validation processes and controls.
- Segregation of duties within system access.
- User migration and access transitions.
- System interfaces and integrations.
Planning a system change?
A pre-implementation review can help identify potential control concerns while systems are still being configured. At TLB, reviews are structured to support timely feedback and informed decision-making during implementation phases.
