Hello Friend,
I hope you are having a great week! As one of our valued Elite 100 clients, we are committed to keeping you informed about the latest updates from our firm and the most significant industry trends. Please find highlights from this month below:
You may have already seen the news in August, but we are excited to share that Schellman acquired INSYTE CPAs, LLC, enhancing our team with even greater expertise in risk management, internal control, and business processes. In the coming days, we’ll be excited to share more around our internal audit, ITGC (SOX) capabilities. This acquisition strengthens our commitment to delivering best-in-class compliance solutions while ensuring uninterrupted service for all clients. With the addition of INSYTE’s talented personnel, Schellman is poised to offer an even broader range of tailored solutions to meet your evolving needs. Read more
As we approach the end of the year, your principal and manager should be connecting with you for a strategic discussion about your plans for 2025. This meeting will provide an opportunity to review feedback, discuss your goals, and introduce new services and capabilities that can help elevate your success. It will also solidify alignment on the most effective and beneficial next steps for achieving compliance initiatives in 2025. Your account lead will be reaching out to schedule this time with our teams, including senior leadership, to ensure you have the full support and insights you deserve. If you don’t hear from them let me know … and you will!
I know, I know, I know … AI still drives the discussions we have most often and Schellman continues to engage with our clients on ISO 42001 and red teaming (penetration testing) for AI. We’ve also issued multiple SOC and FedRAMP reports for platforms using GenAI as a core part of their offering. Assessing in AI requires both a sound basis in compliance coupled with the adaptability to new technologies (like we did with the cloud). We’ve published some additional new content which you can find here. Let me know if you're interested in discussing this topic more and I'll connect with you with our AI Subject Matter Experts.
Schellman offers comprehensive training across a wide range of ISO standards, including 27001, 9001, and 42001, along with others focused on quality & management, health & safety, and sustainability.

Whether you're looking for an introduction to specific standards or seeking to develop the skills to become a Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor, we offer educational solutions tailored to your organization’s needs.
In November, Ryan Buckner, our Chief Knowledge Officer, will dive into our ISO training services , so be on the lookout for a formal invitation next month!
