Following a year of close collaboration, Numial Limited has reached an agreement to deliver its proprietary GLEAN® methodology through Grant Thornton UK LLP.
GLEAN® will become Grant Thornton’s contract assurance methodology, providing additional capability to their wider assurance client service offerings, which also include Healthcare Assurance, Financial Reporting Advisory, Grants and Royalty Audit services.
As part of this agreement, Robert Shaw, Numial Limited’s Managing Director has joined Grant Thornton UK LLP as Associate Director responsible for its new Contract Assurance service.
Robert Shaw states: “I am delighted to be joining Grant Thornton at this critical time for the UK economy. Recent high profile business failures and a squeeze in public services expenditure shows how critical it is for organisations to de-risk their major contracts. Grant Thornton provides the perfect platform to help those organisations.”
Chris Smith, Grant Thornton UK LLP Assurance Partner and Assurance Practice Leader states: “We are particularly pleased to be bringing Robert and his organisation to Grant Thornton. As advisors to half of Local Government and NHS organisations in the UK, we will be looking to use our Contract Assurance capability to help those organisations review their spend with major suppliers.”
