RSM Announces New Industry Audit Policy Leaders

CHICAGO – (June 7, 2021) – RSM US LLP (“RSM”) – the nation’s leading provider of audit, tax and consulting services focused on the middle market – is pleased to announce new industry audit policy leaders in the firm’s National Professional Standards Group (NPSG) Industry Program.

“Not only will these bright audit professionals enhance our audit effectiveness and efficiency by developing industry-specific guidance and practice aids, but their specialization will also enable us to develop new technologies and drive audit innovation within their industries,” said RSM NPSG Industry Program Leader Mike Lundberg.
