ASSURANCE

Our core business is the financial and statutory audit of listed and non-listed companies, group reporting packages prepared in accordance to Italian GAAP, IFRS and US GAAP. RSM Italy is registered as Auditors with CONSOB (the Italian Stock Exchange Authority) and PCAOB in USA. RSM Italy’s auditors do more than deliver technically excellent audits. We draw on our in-depth knowledge of clients’ businesses to make constructive contributions for improvement. Our assurance and advisory methodologies blend technical competencies with a detailed, robust knowledge of our clients and their markets. You can expect a high level of contact with your audit partner and audit manager.
