1. BACKGROUND
AVC Corporate Advisory Services is an innovative
up and coming company that aims to partner with
you to provide practical and comprehensive
business solutions and advice.
We recognize that each organization is unique, with
its specific needs, and that there is no “one size fits
all” when it comes to providing solutions to our
clients. We deal with our valued clients based on
their specific circumstances.
We recognize that in this highly competitive
environment, qualified and experienced skills are
both difficult to obtain and costly, hence companies
may need a helping hand to maintain excellence in
delivering value-add solutions to the organisation.
Co-sourcing and out-sourcing have in recent times
gained acceptance as an alternative way to access
both normal and specialist skills, which might have
otherwise been too expensive, as businesses,
streamline activities to concentrate on core
business activities.
AVC Corporate Advisory Services recognises the
developments in corporate governance (King III)
and the SA Companies Act, which are driving
exciting and innovative thinking in business.
Change is therefore inevitable and coupled with the
slowdown in the world economy led by the
European crisis and the USA, survival of a company
is dependent on its ability to adapt and re-invent
itself and keep up with the competition.
1. VALUE STATEMENT
At AVC Corporate Advisory Services, we are value
driven. Our values are:
Client Focus
Our clients are the reason for our existence and we
therefore always strive to exceed their expectations.
We go that extra mile to achieve results on time.
Excellence
We strive for excellence in all we do and ensure that
there is quality in everything we do at a low cost.
Integrity
We adhere to the highest standards of conduct and
moral behaviour, and maintain the highest level of
ethics in all our actions.
2. MISSION, VISION
“To be recognised by our clients and competitors as
the benchmark in service delivery within our
industry and chosen markets.”
We will focus our energies in a co-operative effort
that will enable us to provide high quality, value
added services in our area of operations.

5. OUR KEY COMPETENCES
Our team of consultants can tackle any
assignment based on their experience in a
diverse range of fields. Where skills and
expertise are lacking in-house, we have a
wide range of associates that can provide
service on demand:
Our consultants come with wide ranging
experience in their areas of competence,
both locally and internationally. They
have thus mastered international
standards and practices.
Our consultants are professional and are
bound by the code of ethics of the
Institute of Internal Auditors SA (IIASA),
South African Institute of Chartered
Accountants (SAICA) and the Institute of
Chartered Secretaries & Administrators
(CIS).
As part of the most promising
consolidated advisory group, we have a
competitive advantage in that we have
access to various other skills such as
ERM, strategic advice and technology
solutions to enhance our service
offering.
We offer opportunities for cost saving
through our competitive pricing that is
born from our flexible structure and
smart use of technology (Data mining
technology).
Our internal audit methodology is risk
based and is modelled in line with the
requirements of the Institute of Internal
Auditors (IIA), which also takes into
account developments in King III. There
has been a shift from traditional
compliance audit to focusing of efforts on
core business drivers and opportunities
for process improvement, cost savings,
revenue enhancement, and cash flow.
We also recognize the importance of
keeping up with developments in the
field and our consultants embark on
continuous professional development
(CPD) programmes.
A Quality Assurance and Improvement
Programme is in place and incorporated
in our processes to enhance quality and
value to our service offerings.
Our flexible structure allows you access
to senior, experienced resources for
Page 9 of 10
longer periods than normally possible
with bigger providers.
6. OUR BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT POLICY
AVC Corporate Advisory Services is a Level 3 BEE organisation. We recognise that through past
practices the South African economy is characterised by a concentration of economic wealth and
inequalities in employment, education, and skills.
AVC Corporate Advisory Services will contribute towards uplifting the broader population through
black empowerment initiatives at various levels and aspects of the business, continued focus on
developing employee skills at all levels and our employment equity and corporate social
responsibility programmes.
AVC Corporate Advisory Services is committed to assisting previously disadvantaged groups and
our policy is implemented to reflect this.
7. OUR CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Our corporate social investment will form an inherent part of AVC Corporate Advisory Services’
business ethos. AVC Corporate Advisory Services’ corporate social investment programme is
employee driven and will receive strong support from management. We currently assist in the
community by drafting financial statements for a church organisation at a subsidised rate.
8. WHY CHOOSE US?
We are a true empowerment organization committed to changing the “myth that historically
disadvantaged individuals cannot make a difference or add value”.
We have the passion, enthusiasm, commitment, ability, experience, and expertise to make
your organization’s business processes and functions improve.
We are professional risk managers, accountants, internal auditors.
We have demonstrated success in the organizations that we have worked for prior to forming
our organization and consulted to currently.
We will convert challenges into opportunities.
We are committed to superior service excellence.
We know we can make a difference to you.
