History
AssetRisk was founded from a vision of an independent risk-mitigation firm that delivers the highest quality professional services to clients to address their needs without the many conflicts of interest and sales pressure associated with a large firm that also offers audit and other assurance services. The business case was proven with the crisis of independence that saw the demise of Arthur Andersen, the sale of PwC’s consultancy to IBM, the bankruptcy of KPMG’s spin-off, BearingPoint, and the liquidation of LECG.
The ability of an expert to provide an opinion or recommendation that is free from the bias of undisclosed business and professional conflicts of interest continues to be an issue in the marketplace. The worth of advisory services is based on trust and the Values upon which AssetRisk was created are just as important today.
