"The Governance Portal is the most logical solution for us because it's
easy to implement and use and is backed by one of the best internal audit
service providers in the world. We especially appreciate that Protiviti's
Member Firm has local expertise here in Bahrain to support us," said Shahab
Ahmed, chief internal auditor at BCFC (www.bahraincredit.com.bh). "The
Governance Portal also helps prepare us for the future. Its comprehensive
governance, risk and compliance capabilities will support new applications as
we need them."

"Protiviti continues to expand its presence in Gulf Cooperation Council
countries to meet the growing demand for our solutions in the region," said
Scott Gracyalny, managing director and global lead of Protiviti's Risk
Technologies group. "Like many other organizations in this region and around
the world, Bahrain Commercial Facilities Company has found that the
Governance Portal is easy to deploy and use, accelerating the time to
realizing benefits and lowering the total cost of ownership, while also
enabling integration of internal auditing into its larger GRC program."

The Governance Portal
(www.protiviti.com/grc-software/Pages/default.aspx) is an
industry-leading enterprise governance, risk and compliance (EGRC) software
platform that allows organizations to address multiple GRC objectives. A
recipient of various industry accolades, the Governance Portal integrates
Protiviti's proprietary content and consulting expertise with commonly
accepted governance frameworks to establish a comprehensive platform that
gives organizations the visibility and insight they need to manage and
mitigate critical risk and compliance issues. The Governance Portal for
Internal Audit enables organizations to automate the audit process from risk
assessment through reporting; identify and assess risks through integrated
surveys to simplify the feedback process; tie risks to key processes and
organizations that feed the audit planning process; and easily integrate
internal auditing into the GRC program.

"Our expertise in internal auditing along with the advanced risk
assessment, planning, and documentation capabilities of the Governance Portal
create an unbeatable combination for an increasing number of organizations in
the Gulf Cooperation Council countries," said Manoj Kabra, managing director
of Protiviti's Member Firm for the Middle East Region. "We are committed to
continuing to grow our presence here and providing the local support these
organizations need to optimize their internal auditing and GRC activities."
