On September 22nd, more than 70 countries came together for the fifth annual RSM World Day to celebrate respectively being the sixth largest independent audit, tax, and consulting network on the planet. To mark the occasion, RSM Egypt organised a jam-packed day of activities in Cairo’s iconic al-Hussein and invited us to tag along for the ride.With over 38,000 staff members across the world, RSM has grown into a global accounting giant. Under the slogan ‘The Power of Being Understood’ their network has in the last year united under one brand that continues to reinforce the shared beliefs of providing high-quality audit, tax, and consulting services.

To commemorate their accomplishment, RSM created an online game, testing people’s geography knowledge, called ‘Picture the Place’ giving everyone from clients to colleagues an opportunity to win GBP 500. Despite our best efforts, we didn’t win the money, but definitely had fun trying to guess the places in the picture. Who knew the CN Tower wasn't in Seattle? Our ego was a little hurt, but our embarrassing loss was quickly overshadowed by a wonderful tour of al-Hussein, complete with a delicious meal at the infamous Naguib Mahfouz café.Just as we thought the #RSMWorldDay was coming to an end, out of seemingly nowhere emerged a giant cheque presented to The Noha Abou Samra Education Fund aimed to help enhance programmes for preparatory students at the Sakr Qoresh preparatory school in Nasr city. Although we were caught off guard by the appearance of the massive cheque, part of RSM’s success has built off the strength of giving back to the community and investing in the future leaders to take their firm to further heights. 

According to CEO of RSM International, Jean Stephens, "I’m extremely proud of the work that our member firms have undertaken for RSM World Day. I want to thank all our member firms, no matter their size or the scale of their events, for proudly displaying the core ideals that makes RSM such a unique global network." Thanks to their hard work, RSM Egypt received a nomination as one of IAB 2016 Thought Leadership Initiative of the Year.
