Audit and Accreditation
SMRU Ltd can provide bespoke advice to financial analysts and mergers & acquisition specialists on the corporate and operational risk associated with organisational activities or novel technologies. These audit services involve the application of our scientists’ extensive experience of marine environmental risk assessment to work alongside the client in order to characterise risks that may be present within a prospective acquisition organisation, or a novel technology such as those being developed for the marine renewable energy industry.
This vital planning step can enable strategic investment decisions and organisational development to be undertaken with a full appreciation of likely risks arising from environmental consenting and ensuring those environmental aspects of corporate social responsibility have been fully considered. This process can be applied to the traditional process of due diligence analysis, integrating the regulatory risks and requirements of a more environmentally aware society with more traditional organisational components.
