Services

Success in not final; failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts.

STRATEGY

We use roadmaps to visualise a company’s major objectives and strategies, and illustrate initiatives and deadlines happening in different departments.  Like a business blueprint, a roadmap gives a long-term view of where your organisation is going and how it will get there.  For businesses to succeed, stakeholders need a shared understanding of the big picture.  Roadmaps knock down the silos between teams and provide a clear vision of the future, regardless the maturity of your organisation.

FINANCIAL CONTROLS & REPORTING

In compliance with the Companies Act of 2013, businesses are mandated to establish robust Internal Financial Controls (IFC) to meet new reporting standards and accounting regulations. However, at MCSquared, we believe that the true value of IFC lies in ethical excellence and doing what’s right, rather than just meeting minimum requirements. By choosing the path of integrity, organizations can unlock value, reduce fraud risks, eliminate financial reporting errors, and foster sustained long-term business performance. With our extensive expertise in systems, internal controls, and best practices, we ensure a seamless integration of these requirements into your existing organizational systems.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk Management is a strategic discipline aimed at identifying, assessing, and mitigating threats to an organization’s financial health and earnings. These risks can originate from various sources, including financial uncertainties, legal obligations, technological challenges, strategic missteps, natural disasters, and political upheavals. A robust Risk Management program not only helps a business acknowledge the spectrum of risks it confronts but also explores the interconnectedness of these risks with the overarching strategic objectives of the organization.

At MCSquared, we understand that the goal of Risk Management isn’t to eliminate all risks, as that’s often impossible and counterproductive. Instead, we manage risks to gain a deep understanding of which risks are worth embracing, which align with your objectives, and which offer a sufficient potential reward to warrant their acceptance.

FORENSICS

A forensic audit serves as a vital tool to uncover evidence for legal proceedings related to financial crimes, such as fraud or embezzlement. It involves a systematic and investigative examination of a business’s financial records. Forensic audits are typically initiated in response to various triggers, including conflicts of interest, allegations of bribery, misappropriation of assets, or suspicions of misrepresented financial statements.

At MCSquared, our extensive experience in this specialized field, coupled with a deep understanding of both auditing and the legal framework surrounding forensic audits, uniquely positions us to provide clients with the essential support needed when fraudulent activities are suspected. We are your trusted partners in unveiling the truth behind financial discrepancies.

COMPLIANCE AUDITS

Our comprehensive compliance audits entail thorough, independent assessments of an organization’s adherence to both statutory regulations and internal policies and procedures established by management. This service is an ongoing process, particularly valuable in industries where non-compliance carries financial penalties and sanctions.

Drawing from our extensive experience, we specialize in conducting reviews that encompass crucial areas such as Inventory Management, Fixed Asset verification and valuation, compliance with the National Credit Act, and adherence to the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act.

We go beyond assessments and also offer tailored solutions to organizations that aim to utilize their internal resources but lack the technical expertise required. Our services extend to staff training and post-implementation reviews, ensuring your compliance measures are not just met but continuously optimized.

DUE DILLIGENCE

Possibly the most cliched term in investment circles when people are trying to solicit information on the deal of the century or just ran out of things to say about the horse de oeuvres.   But don’t write off due diligence as idle chatter on a business before entering the acquisition fray, as you’d be better equipped to make a decision that aligns with your overall investment strategy.  We provide our clients with due diligence on shares, including market capitalisation, revenue predictions/forecasts, asset valuations, competitor market share, management stability and market risk(s).  Once you have this information, you’ll at least have specifics that you can rely on and possibly ones that you will want to research further.

OUTSOURCING/CO-SOURCING

There are many financial benefits to outsourcing – the shifting of non-core expenses out of the income statement and taking advantage of an outsourced partners economies of scale.  But what about cases where expertise is lacking and the right fit for the business cannot be found.  Unfortunately, not every curriculum vitae has the right combination of talent and drive to achieve the extraordinary, so it may be feasible to hire an individual on a project basis to achieve the results and transfer knowledge.  MCSquared brings you exactly that but within a virtual space at a fraction of the cost.
