Read Frequently Asked Questions

 

Experience suggests that having an improperly conceived or inadequate plan may in many instances be worse that not having one.

How do you determine whether your contingency plan is sound and adequate? The answer is: your organization should conduct an audit of it. This should be preferably done by a different party than the one that was instrumental in conceiving and developing the plan on the grounds of objectivity. It is a simple fact of business life that it is almost impossible for the team that developed the plan to find deficiencies in the plan they authored.

An independent audit of the existing contingency plan is definitely worth the effort. Considering the high cost of developing a contingency plan, serious minded organizations should wisely invest in auditing the contingency plan. The audit could be conducted by an internal audit function or an outside professional service. Your company should identify weakness in their contingency plans before they could be activated.
