company history.<br />
Natalie Khambi, <strong>Business</strong><br />
Development Manager<br />
How do you differentiate yourself as a company?<br />
Audit and Risk Management Solutions (ARMS) is a 100% black-owned and<br />
black-staffed company. We develop black entrants to the auditing industry<br />
and are committed to prove that black excellence does exist. Our client list<br />
built over 13 years of existence is testament to this.<br />
What are your main services?<br />
Our services include internal auditing, risk management, assurance and<br />
advisory, forensic investigations as well as training.<br />
Do you focus on particular sectors?<br />
Currently our client base is predominantly the public sector; however, we<br />
have made noticeable inroads into the private sector in the last year.<br />
How was the company formed?<br />
The founders met while working together at a university where one of them<br />
was the Chief Financial Officer. They decided to start a company and couldn’t<br />
get funding from the banks. They then set out to self-fund and gradually<br />
grew the business to where it is now.<br />
