Who we serve
Heavy regulation, staff shortages and slow study startup, with no room for error.
Medical Research
Why your work matters
Clinical trials and medical research bring new treatments to patients and evidence to doctors. Every delay in a study is a delay in care for the people waiting on it.
Where delivery falls short
Yet incomplete documentation controls, unclear ownership and weak billing reconciliation slow studies, strain teams and expose centers to findings that can halt research.
Select an issue to see the internal control breakdown behind it, the usual solution, and The BKG solution.
01
Constant paperwork, gaps in the file
The issue
Ethics, privacy, sponsor and inspection rules demand constant documentation.
Where the control breaks: Document version control, training records and sign-offs are incomplete or inconsistent.
The usual fix
A last-minute document clean-up before each inspection.Stressful, error-prone and repeated every time.
The BKG solution
First, we fix the internal control tools. We test what exists, repair what is broken and put in place what is missing:
Always inspection-ready.
02
Months to activate a study
The issue
Contracts, budgets, approvals and site activation take months.
Where the control breaks: No owner or checkpoint for each startup step, so approvals stall without anyone noticing.
The usual fix
Push harder on each study individually.Every study starts from scratch, so the delays repeat.
The BKG solution
First, we fix the internal control tools. We test what exists, repair what is broken and put in place what is missing:
Studies activated faster and predictably.
03
Open roles, merged duties
The issue
Coordinator, regulatory and finance roles stay open while staff cover several jobs.
Where the control breaks: Staff covering several roles end up preparing and approving their own work.
The usual fix
Agency temps who do not know your systems.They need months to become useful, then leave.
The BKG solution
First, we fix the internal control tools. We test what exists, repair what is broken and put in place what is missing:
Positions filled, duties separated, teams ready to work.
04
No common standard
The issue
Departments perform the same tasks in different ways.
Where the control breaks: Without common procedures, controls cannot be monitored or tested.
The usual fix
Each department writes its own SOP.More documents, and still no common standard.
The BKG solution
First, we fix the internal control tools. We test what exists, repair what is broken and put in place what is missing:
Consistent quality across the center.
05
Money lost in reconciliation
The issue
Grant spending, cost transfers and research billing are handled inconsistently.
Where the control breaks: Costs land on the wrong study or grant, transfers are late and research billing is never reconciled.
The usual fix
Year-end reconciliation by the finance office.Errors are found too late to recover the money.
The BKG solution
First, we fix the internal control tools. We test what exists, repair what is broken and put in place what is missing:
Revenue recovered and costs that pass audit.
06
Single points of failure
The issue
Critical processes depend on a single employee.
Where the control breaks: One person controls a process end to end, with no backup and no review.
The usual fix
Hope the key person stays.When they leave, studies stall.
The BKG solution
First, we fix the internal control tools. We test what exists, repair what is broken and put in place what is missing:
No single point of failure.
