RSM, global network of audit, advisory, and accounting services, announces the acquisition of Legal & Digital.
With this acquisition, RSM enhances its advisory services by integrating 20 data scientists and technological solutions to serve businesses, large organizations, and their executives.
Founded in 2016, the firm Legal & Digital helps businesses digitize their risk management and compliance processes. With a team of data analysis experts at the forefront of technology, they assist both large corporations in solving complex problems and regulatory authorities in developing competencies.
L&D is at the heart of regulatory changes and technological innovations. The teams address the growing needs of businesses in strengthening internal, financial, and accounting controls, and optimizing costs imposed by increasingly automated and complex flows. The company works hand-in-hand with leading technology partners such as Diligent for large groups, and Microsoft for SMEs, providing digital audit and control solutions powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The firm offers a range of cutting-edge services that both enhance the relevance of internal audits and controls, secure organizations' strategic projects, digitize legal obligations, engage meaningfully with external inspections, and protect the knowledge and expertise of businesses.
For RSM, this acquisition marks a new step in developing and providing highly technological expertise and solutions for finance professionals. It also accelerates access to new functional horizons that will strengthen the offering in the digitalization of audit activities and internal control.
“With Legal & Digital, we welcome 20 data scientists to our teams. We are now able to offer high-value-added support, from consulting to the operational implementation of digital compliance processes. RSM now positions itself as one of the major players in the GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) market with constantly evolving technology combined with a strategy of excellence,” says Paul Vaillant, President of RSM France.
This acquisition is also the response of two entities whose values and development ambitions are aligned. “Choosing RSM was obvious. The entrepreneurial spirit of the management team convinced us. We have freedom of action, the freedom to dare, and a pleasure in collaborating together, which are invaluable,” says Jocelyn Grignon, founder of Legal & Digital.
