Not just for large companies
Customers, banks and investors increasingly ask SMEs for sustainability information. An independent review gives that information credibility.
Assurance on sustainability information
For companies within the scope of the European rules, assurance on the sustainability information in the management report.
Voluntary reports
Limited assurance on a voluntary report, for example prepared under the simplified European standard for SMEs (VSME).
Specific indicators
Engagements on precise indicators requested by a customer, a bank or an investor.
A proportionate approach
Work sized to your company and to what your partners expect.
To guarantee independence, Nadir El Jouaidi does not provide assurance on the information of a company that Hexaconto, the firm he chairs, helps prepare its reporting or keeps the books of (self-review prohibition).
Frequently asked questions
Is my company within the scope of the CSRD?
The scope of the European rules has been revised and depends on size and listing. We check whether your company is concerned and when.
What is the VSME standard?
A simplified, voluntary European sustainability reporting standard designed for SMEs, to answer requests from customers, banks and investors in a structured way.
What is the difference between limited and reasonable assurance?
Limited assurance concludes that nothing suggests the information is materially misstated; reasonable assurance, more extensive, gives a positive opinion.
Can an accountant help prepare our sustainability reporting?
If Nadir El Jouaidi provides assurance on your report, neither he nor Hexaconto can have helped prepare it (self-review prohibition). We can refer you to professionals who support companies in preparing their reporting.
Can sustainability reporting work be done with an international group?
Yes: exchanges in English with the group’s sustainability and finance teams; formal reports are issued in the language required by the applicable rules.
The forecasts, cash-flow plans, dashboards, simulations, studies and analyses mentioned above are additional engagements, à la carte. Each one is quoted in advance, at the frequency you choose.
