Assurance

Businesses need to be resilient and transparent in their reporting to build trust and confidence. Assurance practitioners play a key role in achieving this through independent review and challenge of management’s views on a range of regulatory and reporting requirements.

Personal independence

Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm. We are subject to a number of audit regulations that require certain colleagues to abide by specific personal independence constraints.
