Mastering international compliance

RSM helps make your organisation financially compliant – efficiently, systematically and globally aligned.

International audits and compliance projects require effective project management. Our Project Management Office (PMO) provides support from preparation through to reporting, with attention to structure, consistency and communication.

RSM's PMO supports:

  • Audit project management – guidance for (international) audits, including planning, monitoring and communication with stakeholders
  • Compliance checks on ongoing projects – assessment against internal and external regulations and best practices
  • Compliance management – development and implementation of standards and guidelines
  • Risk management – insight into compliance risks with risk registers, analyses and control measures
  • Internal control measures – design and evaluation of internal controls with reporting to stakeholders
  • External audit support – practical guidance during audits by regulators or other parties

Our approach utilises automated templates and PSA tools for efficiency, scalability and complete compliance with legislation and regulations.

For international companies, thorough preparation for the statutory annual account audit is essential. RSM provides practical support through pre-audit services, ensuring your audit runs efficiently and systematically.

  • Financial pre-audit – preparing a complete balance sheet file with substantiation of annual account items
