RPS Britain Planning & Development

Financial Institutions

RPS auditors are highly skilled in undertaking due diligence investigations in the context of early stage feasibility studies or in more mature businesses requiring re-financing. Financial institutions seek our expertise to advise globally on cross-border mergers and acquisition activity across a wide range of business sectors including manufacturing, minerals, oil and gas, property, and food and drink – in order to understand their health, safety and environmental liabilities. With the emerging importance of asset-backed lending, our experience in evaluating, costing and managing environmental liabilities has been relied upon widely to determine both the suitability of assets and the acceptability for securitisation. With project finance, our technical experts can evaluate the suitability of technology for Waste, Energy and Infrastructure proposals.

We advise private equity firms, venture capital funds, lending banks, merchant banks and credit rating agencies in the UK and internationally, and implement environmental risk management systems and provide advice on sustainability to reduce liabilities and improve environmental performance. We also evaluate financial institutions’ internal corporate social responsibility procedures and give advice that enables clients to comply with legislation that focuses on minimising their environmental footprint.
