Risk management & compliance


After the Enron and WorldCom disasters, there is a rapidly growing awareness that contracts are the best source for information regarding future revenues, future costs and risks regarding both. Therefore, structured routines with regards to the management of a company’s contracts are an important part of any compliance rules and regulations currently being implemented worldwide.
What distinguishes Contiki from other systems is that the contract documentation comes as a natural consequence of the workflows supported by the system.

Contiki is the only application with support for pre-tender activities (risk assessment, strategy, minutes, RFI, memos, e-mails, etc). The same goes for the tender evaluation stages and the post award stages, and includes a number of enhanced functionalities guiding and automating complex tasks during the lifecycle of a contract.
The system will hold all critical dates, claim value, risk assessment, etc., plus associated documents (your own and your client’s or customer’s/vendor’s) and other documentation such as incoming and outgoing e-mails, internal memos, approvals and reviews.
The effect of all this is that compliance to governing procedures and acts is simply an embedded bonus of managing your contracts using Contiki.

 


There are many areas of compliance where contiki is the key to compliance since contracts represent the main source of expenses as well as revenues:

Sarbanes Oxley: Financial and Accounting Disclosure Information
International Accounting Standards Board: International Financial Reporting Standards
