Our MISSION
"GQR" is deploying a multi-dimensional Auditor and "Governance Quality Rating" leveraging Artificial Intelligence/Big Data
Why we EXIST
Market, regulatory and information failures in auditor quality and related governance outcomes have led to a global crisis of confidence in the audit function and corporate governance that is acute in emerging and frontier markets. Yet, these markets are, often, underserved by quality assurance services. GQR seeks to fill that gap, powered by advanced competitiveness research and the technology of the 4th Internet Revolution.
Expected IMPACT
Potential clients are those responsible for corporate governance and internal & external audit activities in emerging and frontier markets. In Africa alone, these clients ultimately impact, directly or indirectly, the economic and social lives of over a billion people, too many of whom are currently living below US$5 PPP per capita per day.
About GQRDOtCOm Limited
“GQR" is a private social enterprise, serving the global public interest, registered in England & Wales, with a focus on emerging and frontier markets
