Audit

Our member firm’s approach to audit requires the rigorous standards of professional competence, independence and objectivity that clients rightly demand, yet still recognises that the auditor is uniquely placed to make a constructive contribution to the client's business.

Our approach

The RSM Audit Methodology blends technical competencies with a detailed knowledge of the client, its markets and the industry sector. Using this methodology our members offer a tailored audit approach with a strong emphasis on early planning and how your business functions. This enables them to identify key audit components and tailor their procedures to the unique aspects, size and nature of your business.

The RSM audit approach, which complies with international auditing standards, involves:

  • Obtaining an understanding of the client’s business from both an accounting and business perspective
  • Assessing the risk of material misstatements and the controls in place to prevent these risks
  • Selecting appropriate analytical and substantive audit procedures to obtain evidence
  • Conducting formalised review procedures to ensure that the chosen procedures are carried out and that the correct conclusions are drawn
  • Forming an opinion and reporting under the applicable laws and standards
  • Communicating with management on an ongoing basis throughout the audit.

The benefit to you as the client is an effective, cost efficient, independent audit, performed in a timely manner by experienced professionals.

When the audit report is delivered, the client and its shareholders can be confident that the report objectively and independently comments on the financial records and information systems employed. Wherever appropriate, our members will also provide management with imaginative and pragmatic advice that adds value to the business assurance requirement.

Quality

The RSM Audit Methodology is in compliance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA’S) and is regularly updated for new technical pronouncements and efficiency changes in best practices. This methodology is supported by other global policies relating to:

  • Ethics and Independence
  • Quality Assurance and risk containment
  • Training and Continuing Professional Education (CPE).

Training is seen as critical across the network to ensure consistency, objectivity and the highest levels of client service. All our member’s conduct significant levels of training locally, in addition to which RSM International also provides training on the audit manual and other related policies through training courses run on-site, written training materials issued to firms and by global web-conferencing.

RSM is committed to meeting international standards as well as playing an active role within the wider auditing profession. This is primarily done through a global audit committee that is responsible for setting the policies and procedures that all our member firms need to implement and for monitoring the quality of the firms through an ongoing program of inspections.
