To further enhance our assurance services and to provide our clients the ability to access the same level of services previously available through the national firms, we have established several formal service alliances with premier consulting groups and have maintained valuable relationships with numerous specialists from this network. The alliances we have developed are with leading experts in the industries and service areas most important to Hawaii. These independent relationships provide us with current information about opportunities for our clients without limiting our ability to call upon anyone whose expertise may be of help to you.
