What is a global assessment—and why does it matter?

A global assessment is a strategic diagnostic service designed to help internationally active companies uncover and address key financial, tax and compliance requirements across their global footprint. Delivered by RSM’s experienced global project management team and powered by our expansive network in over 120 countries, the global assessment brings clarity to cross-border complexities.

As businesses expand internationally, launch new enterprise resource planning systems, or centralize finance and human resources functions, they often encounter uncertainty. The following questions may arise:

  • Which countries require statutory audits?
  • What are the filing obligations in each jurisdiction?
  • What must be considered before rolling out new processes or consolidating operations?

This is where a global assessment becomes essential.

RSM designs a tailored questionnaire—or refines one you already have—focused on your most pressing global concerns. We then mobilize the RSM network to gather country-specific insights, summarize the findings and help you understand where you stand.

Now is a critical time to act. Global regulatory requirements are evolving rapidly, with country-specific mandates creating new risks for noncompliance. Whether you’re seeking assurance, preparing for transformation or simply trying to avoid costly surprises, a global assessment offers the visibility you need to move forward with confidence.

How does a global assessment benefit you?

RSM provides a comprehensive report detailing statutory audit requirements, tax filing calendars, payroll mandates, bookkeeping obligations and more.

This service provides visibility and confidence. Whether you’re exploring compliance status, expanding operations or modernizing internal processes, a global assessment backs up your decisions with accurate, localized insights—minimizing surprises and enabling smarter global strategy execution.
