Third-Party Assurance Services
Building Trust in a Complex Business Landscape
Today’s business environment is filled with complexity, regulation and technology-driven growth. To be successful, your organization must build strong client relationships, embrace technology, stay on top of compliance with ever-changing regulatory requirements and effectively manage the risks that come along with the landscape in which you operate.
To do this effectively requires trust. Trust from customers that you are protecting critical data and are compliant with regulations, trust in suppliers and vendors that they have strategies for risk mitigation in place, and trust that your internal controls are achieving risk management standards.
Whether you need a SOC report that is required for compliance or an internal controls framework assessment to help your organization meet a standard, RKL’s IS Assurance team is ready to partner with you.
Positioned for Success
Third-Party Assurance (TPA) can help demonstrate your commitment to transparency, establishing trust, mitigating risk and positioning your organization for success.
Builds Trust: TPA fosters trust with stakeholders by offering impartial assessments of a company’s operations. This transparency proves a commitment to responsible and ethical practices.
Mitigates Risk: TPA helps organizations identify key risks, evaluate their risk response strategies and provide feedback on areas for improvement. Comprehensive assessments deliver holistic assurance on internal controls and improve resilience through checks and balances.
Demonstrates Compliance: Whether the assessment results in an opinion or a summary report, a foundation for communication with third parties about risk response and quality of controls is created, showing proactive compliance assurance to regulators and stakeholders.
