Independent Reviews

Audit and Assurance

Gain Confidence in Your Financial Position

Businesses need financial statements they can trust, whether to secure funding, close deals with confidence, meet stakeholder expectations, or maintain a clear understanding of their financial health.
At RSM, we provide Independent Reviews in accordance with the Companies Act No. 71 of 2008, delivering objective insights for shareholders, financial institutions, and other key stakeholders. Conducted by experienced and impartial professionals, an independent review offers meaningful assurance over your financial information without the cost and extensive procedures associated with a full audit.

We tailor our approach to meet the specific requirements of each client and focus on identifying key risk areas and action points, and addressing any specific issues/concerns that may be identified. The review can be relatively light touch or quite detailed, depending on the need of the client.

An Independent Review is required by organisations based on their Public Interest Score, company structure or ownership.

RSM’s experienced team will perform a focused Independent Review for statutory and other reporting. This can assist to:

Comply with the Companies Act, 2008
Comply with the JSE requirements for review reports
Identify areas that are likely to be misstated
