Risk Advisory Services

Our specialists face your threats head-on and in many cases identify them before they crop up; providing you with risk management solutions that are efficient and effective.

Whilst our services do help mitigate any risks to your business, we also offer risk-taking advice as you aim to achieve exceptional performance and growth.  

The need for risk assurance services is also rising as companies realise that positive risk management can add value and help create a performance culture.

• Risk management will assist management and governance to:
• Improve the identification of opportunities and threats.
• Further develop the governance and control frameworks within your organisation.
• Help your organisation operate efficiently and contribute to improved performance.
• Aid decision making and planning by accounting for uncertainty and assessment of actions that may or may not have taken place.

At RSM, we specialise in managing risk. We have a comprehensive range of risk management services designed to bring a new perspective to complicated issues within an organisation which include:

• An extension of the risk management services is forensic services, which involves providing an independent, proactive and a responsive service where facts, financial data or people behaviour do not conform to expectations. 

Our team is innovative and flexible, placing great emphasis on value-added benefits. Services provided include:

• Investigations whereby our diverse team of investigators, forensic accountants and other professionals conduct both large and small investigations involving allegations of fraud; investigate alleged financial statement manipulation; investigate electronic records using some latest forensic technology; and gather and document facts and findings coherently and comprehensively.
