Governance & Integrity
is at the core of everything we do
Since 1937, HITT has been steadfast in our dedication to upholding the highest level of integrity in our work. We are deeply committed to risk management, ethics, and a stringent code of conduct. We believe that transparency is good business, and we hold ourselves to the highest levels of accountability.
​
Our core values, known as The HITT Way, are the true north for our team. They represent who we are and what we stand for collectively.
Up for the Challenge
We purposefully recognize team members who go above and beyond. Each quarter, our Principal Leadership Team recognizes peer-nominated team members who live by and embody our core values by awarding them with a Leadership Challenge Coin.

Committed to Excellence
To uphold the highest standards of integrity and transparency, HITT has a stringent internal audit program that ensures accountability. In 2024, 36 areas of the business operations were selected and audited for compliance with policies, standard operating procedures, and best practices. As a result, our internal policies and procedures continue to evolve to ensure HITT is positioned to manage risk, strengthen controls, and maintain the highest standards of governance and accountability.
Leading by Example
Ethics and integrity are integral to HITT's risk mitigation practices. Our senior governing bodies are committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity throughout the organization and upholding our formal risk mitigation processes throughout company operations.

​We proudly marked a new chapter of leadership in 2024, reflecting our commitment to progress and collaboration. Notably, a co-president succession plan culminated with the retirement of Jeremy Bardin, who was succeeded by Evan Antonides, an 18-year veteran of the firm. Through strategic succession planning and the organic promotion of proven leaders, we strengthened relationships with clients, partners, and team members. These transitions ensured a seamless path forward while fostering teamwork across all aspects of our business.
