Proveer engaged Brian Coutu and Bullpen to review its operational and financial reporting and identify potential process improvement opportunities. Utilizing legacy-system tables and reporting, Bullpen developed a series of data models that significantly improved the accuracy of the Company’s financial and operational reporting and reduced the time required to complete the financial close. Bullpen also created multiple database solutions to assist Proveer management with their goals of reducing obsolete inventory across its branches and improving corporate cash management.

Bullpen brings a unique combination of financial, operational and data expertise. The solutions provided to Proveer were extremely useful and transitioned easily to members of the Proveer team.

Bullpen has enabled Skyworks Solutions to substantially reduce the number of controls that we originally identified as key controls requiring, in some instances, both interim and rollforward testing. The Diamond Compliance technology provides a robust, true risk-based approach to SOX compliance that we had lacked in prior years. The cost efficiencies achieved by adopting this approach far outweighed the investment we made in the solution. Bullpen actively consulted with our external auditors to ensure that the risk-based approach employed was acceptable. Furthermore, Bullpen provided invaluable on site, real-time instruction in utilization of the software tool. Skyworks achieved a significant return on investment by engaging Bullpen to provide this solution.

Bullpen helped Timberland realize significant efficiencies in our SOX compliance process for a fraction of the costs quoted by other consultants. In just 8 weeks, Bullpen guided us through the transformation of our current process into a true top-down, risk based approach that is tailored to our company through the use of their Diamond Compliance technology. Using this technology, we realized a 60% reduction in SOX control testing as compared to the previous year by focusing on accounts and other risk areas with the highest risk of material misstatement to the financial statements, placing greater reliance on entity-level monitoring controls and standardizing controls worldwide.

The Diamond Compliance technology is comprehensive and easy to use. The technology allows for the customization of control design and control execution across domestic and international locations and provides a flexible reporting structure to track and report on any part of the compliance process with ease. Additionally, the control data (risk assessment, control locations, internal controls, etc.) is logically linked to allow any change to flow through the entire compliance plan with the click of a button. Bullpen also provided sufficient training on the new technology to ensure our SOX compliance process is self-sustainable.
