Business Continuity Plan
We are committed to protecting the interests of its clients in the event of a business disruption. This Business Continuity Plan (the “Plan” or the “BCP”) summary details how the Firm will respond to events that significantly disrupt its business.
The Firm’s BCP addresses all areas affected by a business disruption of any type: data backup and recovery, financial and operational systems and assessments, alternative communications with clients, employees and regulators, as well as critical suppliers and banks, and alternate physical location of employees if necessary. The Plan is designed to enable the Firm to recover and restore business operations as quickly as possible, safeguard employees and property, protect the Firm’s books and records, and assure clients prompt service through alternative offices if the Firm is unable to continue its business locally.
In the event of a disaster in one of our geographical areas, there should be minimal disruption in service due to designed redundancies for Aviditi systems. Data and/or system recovery will begin in a timely manner given the event(s) causing the significant business disruption. In the event of a significant business disruption, we plan to begin recovery immediately and notify clients how to contact the Firm through its Website (www.adviditiadvisors.com).
If you have questions regarding our Business Continuity Plan, you may contact us through the Website. The Plan is subject to change without notice. In the event the Business Continuity Plan summary is modified, the updated summary document will be available through the Website.
