Business Continuity Plan

BPK International (BPK) is committed to safeguarding employees and protecting clients in the event of an emergency or significant business disruption. BPK maintains a Business Continuity Plan (BCP or the Plan) to assess and mitigate disruptions affecting the Firm’s business and operations. In the event of such an emergency or a significant business disruption, BPK International’s BCP is reasonably designed to enable BPK to make a financial and operational assessment, recover and resume business operations promptly, protect BPK’s books and records, allow clients access to BPK expertise and services to pursue existing engagements, and maintain necessary communication with
employees and clients.

The Plan addresses significant business disruptions that vary in scope and severity. In the event of significant disruptions that impact physical office spaces or buildings in which BPK conducts its operations, BPK will leverage its remote work capabilities to allow employees to resume critical business functions from a safe remote environment so that BPK may continue to provide clients with key services. The Plan also considers BPK’ comprehensive architecture for the electronic back-up and recovery of its data. Regional data is replicated to primary data facilities based on proximity. Replicated data is backed up along with local data on a regularly scheduled basis. Backup data is stored off-site in a secure archive facility.

If BPK determines that it is unable to resume operations in the event of an emergency incident or significant business disruption, BPK will notify clients and employees and prioritize protecting clients, employees, and BPK’s property and data. BPK International’s BCP is reviewed on an annual basis and subject to change. Please note that this disclosure does not amend or change any of the terms set forth in any agreements between BPK and its clients.
