INTEGRITY ANNOUNCES NEW ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT (ERM) PRACTICE

Principal John Rowe to Head-Up Addition of ERM Practice 

Frederick, Md., August 4, 2010 –Integrity Consulting today announced the launch of its Enterprise Risk Management practice, led by Principal, John Rowe.

Integrity’s ERM practice is designed to drive timely, more effective decision making by enhancing client information management through integrating current risk management activities and providing a comprehensive, holistic view of risks across an organization. Integrity will also help clients manage their own risk programs through a strict focus on assessing capabilities and aligning client’s strategic objectives, resources, processes and technology.

“We couldn’t be happier to have John Rowe head up our new practice, his expertise will ensure that our ERM offering is differentiated by collaboration amongst all platforms to increase overall effectiveness and risk management,” said Patrick Wheeler, Managing Principal/CEO, Integrity. “Historically, risk management efforts have tended to be performed in silos, where risk reduction efforts are carried out in a largely independent and uncoordinated fashion, John’s team will ensure that Integrity’s model breaks that stigma.”

“Risk is a fact of life, and risk cannot be totally eliminated. In fact, appropriate levels of risk should be embraced for a business to flourish. The real risk to organizations is that business decisions are not made timely or are made without adequate, relevant information and analysis,” said John Rowe, Principal, Integrity. “Our ERM professionals average 15 plus years experience and our seasoned management team has helped many clients implement straight-forward effective risk management practices that have driven real improvement in managing risk, decision making and business processes.”

Rowe joined Integrity as a seasoned accounting and auditing professional with more than 20 years of experience in both the corporate and public accounting environments. Before Integrity, Rowe most recently served as the Chief Internal Audit Executive for a $2.5 billion energy company and had previously acted as the International Audit Director for a $400 million International chemical manufacturer.
