The RSM Network

RSM is the brand name used by the Members of the RSM International Network, which are each independent professional services firms and separate legal entities practising in their own right. The Network is not itself a separate legal entity in any jurisdiction, and Membership of the Network does not make any Member Firm responsible for the services of other Firms. RSM International is a private company limited by guarantee and is registered in England & Wales. It is a network umbrella company and does not provide services to clients.

RSM Member Firms are driven by a common vision of providing high quality professional services both in their domestic market and in serving the international professional service needs of their client base. The RSM Network connects Member Firms through common methods and processes, including universally agreed and applied quality standards. These connections enable RSM Member Firm partners and staff to provide consistently high standards of service and advice to clients – everywhere in the world. During 2021, RSM expanded its presence through the addition of a new Member Firm in Turkey, a branch of RSM Tajikistan was opened in Kyrgyzstan, and new Correspondent Firms were appointed in the Bahamas and Nigeria. The Member Firm in Finland left the Network.

As at December 2021, RSM has Members and Correspondents in over 120 countries, with over 860 offices, more than 51,000 staff and combined revenues in excess of US$7.26 billion (including the US and Canada Alliances), of which, approximately US$2.6 billion was derived from audit services.

RSM International and all RSM Member Firms consider strong data and information security to be paramount in ensuring that client and employee data is always protected. To deliver a strong and consistent information security management system, RSM has adopted the internationally recognised ISO 27001 information security standard. RSM Member Firms are working on achieving the ISO 27001 certification to demonstrate to clients that they have in place robust policies and controls that help to maintain the confidentiality, availability and integrity of all client and employee data.
