A simple philosophy. Helping clients succeed.

Kingston Smith Consulting provides governance, controls and technology risk management advice and assurance. Failures in any of these areas can affect an organisation’s brand and reputation, not to mention the legal and regulatory ramifications. We provide our clients with a high level of independent assurance and audit regarding their risk management and compliance policies, procedures and practices.

KSC operates in a number of sectors, including financial services, gaming, healthcare and marketing services companies . We also work for entrepreneurial businesses, charities and not-for-profit sector clients, mainly through our association with the UK top 20 accounting firm, Kingston Smith LLP.

What differentiates KSC from other audit and consulting firms are that our clients appreciate our:

Experienced, multi-certified staff

All members of the KSC team are extremely well-qualified in their chosen fields. KSC only recruits staff with a minimum of 10 years’ experience, acquired both in consulting and operational roles. For larger or niche engagements, we maintain a vetted network of contract associates. The team has experience in dealing with international and FTSE-100 companies right through to smaller organisations – so no matter what your size or need, we can work with you to apply industry best practice.

Fee transparency

KSC believes in clear communication with clients at the commencement of, and during, an engagement. We always do our utmost to understand a client’s needs before quoting on work, maximising client certainty and agreeing methodology. We typically quote on a "fixed fee" basis, but can work on a day rate basis if appropriate.

Team continuity

We ensure the same staff work on your engagement from start to finish, so that client knowledge does not need to be periodically re-learnt. We also endeavour to use the same core team to perform any subsequent related work to ensure consistency and efficiency. These consultants are supported by other specialists as and when required. This ensures that you are provided with cost-effective, scalable and pragmatic solutions which meet your business objectives.

Client empowerment

One key differentiator is our commitment to sharing best practice methodologies with our clients. We offer training and skills development to clients where appropriate, and look to developing client capability in order to reduce or eliminate the reliance on consultants to deliver similar services in the future.

Ability to act as a "knowledge hub"

Our wide experience is key to the identification of the appropriate resource for our clients. We are committed to on-going training of our staff, and each professional receives a minimum of 40 hours technical training per annum to ensure they remain up to date. We take pride in being the "trusted advisor" for our clients when it comes to governance, controls assurance and technology risk management.

Our clients come from a wide variety of industries and jurisdictions. We operate globally, and are sensitive to the cultural differences which prevail around the world.
