The audit and assurance firm of Grant Thornton in the U.S., Grant Thornton LLP, has launched an Enterprise Assurance Services practice. This first-of-its-kind team brings together a broad portfolio of specialized assurance offerings under a single delivery model ― one that addresses growing client demand for third-party assurance across emerging areas such as risk, technology, sustainability and trust.
Among its offerings, the practice includes provisional accreditation to support AIUC-1 certification, designed to provide third-party assurance over agentic artificial intelligence (AI) systems and controls. It also includes ISO certification, which helps organizations strengthen information security programs, meet compliance requirements and enhance stakeholder confidence.
In addition, the practice unites several capabilities within a dedicated organization focused exclusively on specialized assurance offerings, including SOC services, employee benefit plan audits, sustainability reporting and assurance, and finance and transaction-focused attestation.
Unlike traditional models that see professionals splitting their responsibilities across service lines, Grant Thornton’s new practice is built around subject matter experts who can uniformly deliver specialized services, provide clients with deeper technical expertise and create a more consistent experience. The practice is backed by team members from firms on the Grant Thornton multinational platform equipped with proprietary technology and a coordinated, enterprise-wide delivery model that provides clients with proven quality, practical insights and greater confidence in the information they share with the market.
“The demands on organizations today look very different than they did even a few years ago,” said Ron Messenger, CEO of Grant Thornton LLP. “From high-growth startups to global Fortune 500 companies, our clients are navigating new technologies, new risks and growing expectations for transparency. Enterprise Assurance Services is designed to help them meet that reality, combining specialized expertise and cross-border capabilities to help organizations build trust, improve reporting and adapt to a rapidly changing environment.”
