Objectivity Is Our Objective

In virtually every industry, businesses rely heavily on technology to support their day to day operations, serve their customers, and communicate both internally as well as with allied organizations and stakeholders. However, differing viewpoints among executive management and information technology (IT) operations can lead to contrasting outlooks on the company’s technology investment and direction.

Yount, Hyde & Barbour formed its Technology, Risk & Controls (TRC) Team to meet the growing technology-related needs of our clients and maximize their operational efficiency and control effectiveness. Combining the public accounting and technology expertise of our team members provides us with a unique perspective to bridge the gap between management and IT staff.

Our broad range of IT-based assurance and attestation services allows us to adapt our approach to best fit our client’s needs. This tailoring yields information and guidance that enables clients to minimize their inherent risks and ensure regulatory compliance.

Yount, Hyde & Barbour’s TRC Team is committed to helping our clients find solutions to reduce technology risks and improve internal controls.
