TRANSPARENCY REPORT | LEGAL STRUCTURE, OWNERSHIP AND GOVERNANCE
Day to day management
of RSM UK Audit LLP
For management purposes the national audit practice is divided into five
regions. Each region has a Regional Audit Managing Partner (RAMP) who is
appointed by the Head of Audit.
The Management Board has delegated
operational responsibility for the strategy and
performance of the audit practice and for audit
quality to the Audit Management Team (AMT).
The AMT consists of the RAMPs as well as a
National Audit Technical Partner and the Head of
Audit Quality who both bring additional oversight
on technical and quality issues. The appointment
of the RAMPs is reviewed on an annual basis at
appraisal by the Head of Audit.
Reporting to the RAMP in each office is an Audit
Group Manager (AGM), responsible for the dayto-day
management of audit staff in that office.
The AGM in each office leads the local audit
group and manages staff and other resources in
order to ensure optimum profitability, efficiency
and client service in line with regional and
national strategic objectives.
Audit Management Team meetings
The AMT meeting agendas cover all operational
areas of the audit business including:
● budget setting and review of financial
performance;
● technical developments and their impact
on internal authorisation, training, ethical
and other policies;
● quality assurance findings and progress
in addressing issues arising;
● training programmes including the
agreement of mandatory courses and
consideration of course content;
● appropriate business
development initiatives;
