However, assurance can be applied to all of the information that is used to manage, govern, transact with and invest in an organization.

Assurance on non-financial information can help instill confidence in the important decisions that management makes on behalf of an organization.

Family owned businesses form the backbone of the Indian economy as they contribute about two-thirds of India’s GDP and employ about half of the Indian workforce. While some of these businesses go on to become huge successes such as the Ambani family, on the other hand only 13 percent of the family businesses survive till the third generation and only a meager four percent are able to go beyond that. With the lack of proper management, nepotism and lack of a professional approach to work are a few of the causes that plague this large sector of the Indian economy.

While going for advice, we all want to put our trust in Subject Matter Experts. The same is true in case of companies looking for financial advice.

"Most companies would want a Deloitte or KPMG or E&Y to advise them. However, small business does not have enough resources to afford the bigwigs ".

These companies have no choice but to fall back upon smaller consulting firms that are only able to support a particular task-based requirement. Hence, the consulting market in India is facing a dearth of strategy partners who can partner with clients, provide implementable advice, have high quality standards and yet not cost a bomb.

Having identified these shortcomings, Keyur Shah founded Hrishee Strategic Advisors (HSA) in 2003, a newage Strategic Advisory, Business & Financial Management consulting firm that provides “Next Level Solutions”.

With globalization and rapid advancements in various industry segments, the onus to keep pace with a more dynamic and changing landscape is now on the organizations that are driving this change.
