The Plus is both the quality rating of our core captive management services and the value added consulting services we provide in support of captive management. We achieve the Plus by: --Delivering outstanding service; --Strictly adhering to best-in-class internal controls and regular evaluations of these through Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 18 audits; --Helping Clients succeed, particularly through our reputation for innovation; and --Providing a depth of expertise by hiring the best in the business, keeping a laser focus on captives, as well as utilizing team structures and a "one firm" approach to servicing Clients.
