ABA Renews Crowe Harwath Endorsement for Governance, Risk & Compliance Management Services - ABA (Washington DC, 01/30)

The American Bankers Association has renewed its exclusive endorsement of the governance, risk and compliance management services of Crowe Horwath LLP.  

These Crowe Horwath services – which were first awarded ABA’s endorsement in 2008 – help banks improve upon their strategic objectives, while providing risk mitigation solutions in the areas of corporate governance, internal audit, information technology risk, BSA/AML compliance, regulatory compliance and enterprise risk management.  Crowe currently provides the endorsed risk management consulting services to more than 500 financial institutions nationally.

The Corporation for American Banking, a subsidiary of the ABA, awards the ABA endorsement to premier products and services that help banks streamline operations and exceed the needs of their customers.  To earn the exclusive ABA endorsement, products must meet stringent quality standards, fulfill industry needs, offer superior functionality and satisfy certain other key criteria, such as the company’s ability to meet the long term needs of financial institutions, provide hands-on support for banks through customer service and training, and validate financial soundness, management strength and deep understanding of the financial industry. 

“We’re pleased to announce this continued relationship with Crowe, a leading industry provider with a team of banking experts who work with our members  to improve risk management, corporate governance and information technology processes,” said John C. Wolff, president of the Corporation for American Banking. “Our bankers continue to look to ABA and Crowe for guidance on these issues and this endorsement signifies ABA’s confidence in Crowe’s expertise and long standing history of supporting the industry’s needs.”
 
“Crowe is very proud that our risk management solutions maintain the exclusive endorsement of the American Bankers Association on behalf of its members,” said Mike Percy, managing partner of Crowe's Financial Services practice.  “Crowe is a longstanding supporter of ABA, and this endorsement reinforces our continued commitment to helping financial institutions intelligently manage risks.  We look forward to continue working with ABA in providing risk management services to the banking industry and upholding the values of the ABA’s seal of approval.”
