Our Commitment

Independence Is Non-Negotiable

Credible assurance requires independence. RSustain maintains documented conflict registers, enforces cooling-off periods between advisory and assurance engagements, and operates Chinese wall procedures between teams. Our independence protocols meet AccountAbility and IAASB requirements.

Conflict Register
Checked before every engagement. All prior advisory relationships mapped and assessed against AccountAbility independence requirements.
Cooling-Off Period
Minimum one reporting cycle between advisory and assurance on the same subject matter. No exceptions.
Team Separation
Separate teams for advisory and assurance with documented information barriers and independent review protocols.
