Cleantech and Sustainability ServicesCompanies are paying increased attention to their business reputations given today’s rapidly changing economic environment and the confidence crunch — they are looking to be good and green. Most organizations understand that focusing exclusively on the financial aspects of business is not enough for success. Building up social capital and a proactive approach to corporate social responsibility (CSR) can not only promote a company’s image but also strengthen the trust of shareholders, investors and other stakeholders.

EY has profound experience in dealing with such sustainability issues as environmental footprint (including climate change), health and safety, community involvement and business ethics.

We help clients in assessing the relevant risks and positioning with key stakeholders, in preparing CSR reports, policies and programs and in verifying nonfinancial data like greenhouse gas emissions.

EY experts evaluate the risks and obligations of companies in the field of occupational safety and health and process safety.

Fraud Investigation and Dispute ServicesOur dedicated professionals all over the world (including professionals in Central Europe and the CIS) help companies to manage risk and deal with disputes. Our specialists include trained fraud examiners, forensic accountants and electronic data analysts.

In Ukraine, fraud is perceived differently than in other countries. This means that it is extremely important to take local specifics into account when dealing with fraud-related issues. Our professionals in Ukraine are ready to apply their leading experience and knowledge of local specifics to bring you customized solutions to your dispute and fraud-related issues.

To assist you in dealing with fraud issues effectively, we offer a wide range of services, including Fraud & Investigation Services, Dispute Services and Legal Technology Services.

Robotic Process AutomationRobotic process automation (RPAs) must be certainly considered for the fast and reliable execution of routine tasks within any office. Programs can execute repetitive algorithms instead of relying on a human person. It accelerates the processes and achieves 100% accuracy every time.

The office robot can be integrated within the existing IT systems and software. It performs office tasks instead of a person and helps in processing and verifying data entry. The advantages of having an RPA system are lower risks, higher accuracy, speed, reliability and lower costs due to reduced errors.

At EY we have certified professionals who are ready to plan and implement solutions for the RPA with the use of leading industry automation.

Our approach to the RPA is applied in various fields and organizational structures. We can bring customers along the way of the RPA project, from creating the concept to large-scale implementation and further development. Konstantin Neviadomski
