Platinum is built on the financial governance principles derived from the General Accountability Office (GAO). Our financial management procedures assist in evaluating the soundness of a given business or technical investment. Our Financial Management Program consists of four interdependent components: senior management support, policy management policies and procedures, quantifiable performance metrics, and analyses. Our federally compliant Program and Project Management metrics can be used to progressively measure implementation, efficiency, and effectiveness.
Program and Project Management Earned Value Management (EVM) and Capital Planning Investment Control (CPIC) controls are critical financial management success factors that Platinum utilizes to manage the risk of each project. Platinum recognizes the importance of EVM metrics. Our processes are designed to improve the overall financial performance and accountability through the collection, analysis, and reporting of relevant performance-related data. Platinum’s Program Management metrics monitor the accomplishment of goals and objectives by quantifying the implementation level of security controls and the efficiency and effectiveness of the controls.
