Guaranteeing the reliability of information and improving the quality of financial communication.
Improving the quality of financial communication
For RSA, financial audits increase the transparency of the accounts and contribute to the credibility and growth of the business, notably through improved risk management. An audit, whether legal or contractual, is a key factor, in our global economy, for establishing confidence in third parties, directors, investors and stakeholders, and safeguarding the reputation of your business.
The methodology and the audit quality assurance programme adopted by Rsa assist directors and audit committees in managing their responsibilities in a context of extreme vigilance for financial reporting and corporate governance
Our verification processes lead to the presentation of reports and issuing of communications in a timely and apt manner, thus meeting the expectations of regulatory bodies, investors, lenders and other interested parties.
