RFP Scope:
FCC is undertaking a project to implement an Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting (ICOFR) program. To support this initiative, FCC is seeking proposals for the provision of external consulting services to work with and advise our team in an initial planning phase of the ICOFR project. The initial phase will include scoping and risk assessment and will help inform the overall extent of the ICOFR project for FCC, including how FCC could right size it to meet our needs. This initial phase will be key in determining which processes FCC should focus its efforts of process understanding, risk assessment and control identification.
The outcome of this initial phase will determine how, and if, FCC subsequently proceeds with the overall project of ICOFR.
