Global Law Experts Welcomes Ronny Schuijt as Exclusive Audit Assurance Member in the Netherlands

Global Law Experts is pleased to welcome Ronny Schuijt, Partner at ETL Assurance and Overheidsaccountants, as an Exclusive Member for Audit Assurance in the Netherlands. His admission recognizes a strong professional background built on audit work across the public sector, non profit organisations, municipalities, and SMEs. This expertise is underpinned by his MSc and RA qualification, along with extensive experience in external accountancy and executive level financial management.

Ronny brings to the Global Law Experts network an assurance practice grounded in technical audit skills, governance awareness, and practical financial leadership. He supports organisations that must demonstrate accountability, meet statutory obligations and subsidy related requirements, and deliver clear, decision ready reporting to boards, councils, funders, and other key stakeholders. In his role at ETL Assurance and Overheidsaccountants, he combines partner level oversight with hands on involvement in assurance assignments, while continuing to develop a dedicated audit practice.

A key strength in Ronny’s profile is his ability to understand both the assurance perspective and the operational pressures facing management. Over more than a decade, he has led external accountancy engagements involving municipalities, non profit organisations, and group audits. He also carries significant responsibility from his former role as a financial director within the SME sector. This combination helps him speak to both sides of the audit relationship: the independent professional assessment expected from an auditor and the practical, strategic, and reporting realities that organisations must manage internally.

This perspective is especially valuable for clients who want audit support that goes beyond identifying technical issues. Ronny focuses on turning audit observations into clear recommendations that management can understand, implement, and sustain. His approach helps boards, audit committees, and public sector stakeholders connect professional standards to real world governance, internal control, reporting, and compliance needs.

Audit Assurance in the Netherlands

Ronny’s practice is dedicated to audit and assurance matters in the Netherlands, with particular strength in public sector and non profit engagements. He works with municipalities, regional public bodies, health and social institutions, foundations, associations, and owner managed and mid market enterprises.

His assignments include statutory year end audits, subsidy and project specific assurance, group consolidation reviews, internal control assessments, and reporting to audit committees. Across these engagements, he addresses issues that are central to reliable and accountable financial administration. This includes evaluating the design and effectiveness of internal controls, supporting preparation for year end audits, reviewing compliance with statutory reporting requirements, and assessing controls connected with subsidies and specific projects.

For municipal clients, Ronny also prepares management letters and audit committee materials. His reporting is designed to help governing bodies understand significant findings, associated risks, and the remediation priorities needed to strengthen financial governance.

The breadth of his work enables him to serve organisations with different structures and accountability frameworks. Municipal clients often need assurance aligned with public sector reporting expectations and local government financial processes. Non profit organisations require support with subsidy verification protocols and the stewardship of restricted or externally funded resources. SMEs and group structures may benefit from tailored assurance, consolidation review work, and risk based planning for year end matters. Ronny’s experience across these areas allows him to adapt the audit process to the client’s governance model while maintaining the standards expected from a professional assurance provider.

Public Sector and Non Profit Audit Expertise

Ronny’s focus on public sector and non profit work is a core part of his professional profile. Municipalities and other publicly accountable organisations operate in environments where transparency, documented control frameworks, and dependable reporting are essential. The same principles apply to foundations, associations, and institutions that receive subsidies or manage funds under specific accountability conditions.

His experience includes audit and assurance work for municipalities and non profit organisations, as well as engagements involving subsidy controls and project specific verification. These assignments require careful attention to the conditions attached to funding, the completeness and reliability of supporting records, and the way management communicates compliance to relevant stakeholders. Ronny supports organisations through structured scoping, early engagement, and reporting that enables timely remediation.

He also applies a clear understanding of subsidy verification processes. By defining the control scope early and highlighting areas requiring management focus, he helps organisations prepare effectively for assurance procedures and reduces avoidable delays. His risk based approach supports proportionality, ensuring attention is directed toward the issues most likely to affect reporting reliability, regulatory compliance, or the responsible use of public and grant funding.

Effective communication with public administrations, boards, audit committees, management teams, and funders is also central to his work. His preparation of management letters and audit committee reporting reflects an active role in sharing audit outcomes in a way that supports governance discussions and practical decision making, rather than treating reporting as a purely technical task.

Municipal and Government Related Assurance

Municipal audit work requires an understanding of public accountability and the reporting responsibilities linked to local government. Ronny leads assignments that support municipal year end reporting, internal control reviews, management letters, and audit committee communications. His work contributes to the preparation and review processes that underpin dependable reporting to councils and other public stakeholders.

He also represents ETL Assurance and Overheidsaccountants in public procurement and tender processes, acting as an assurance point of contact for relevant assignments. This responsibility highlights his involvement not only in delivering assurance work, but also in coordinating and developing services for public sector clients. It reflects the trust placed in his professional judgment and his ability to explain how specialist assurance support can meet public sector expectations.

In municipal engagements, his practical orientation is particularly valuable. Local government organisations must balance formal reporting obligations with day to day operational demands, often involving multiple departments, funding streams, and control activities. Ronny helps clarify audit expectations, identifies the documentation and control elements required, and presents findings in a way that supports responsible officials and governing bodies.

His expertise also benefits organisations that interact with municipalities or depend on public funding. Strong assurance procedures help grant recipients, programme administrators, and intermediaries demonstrate that funds have been used appropriately and that contractual or subsidy conditions have been followed. Ronny’s experience in assurance processes and stakeholder reporting provides a sound foundation for meeting these expectations.

SME, Group Audit, and Financial Governance Experience

While public sector and non profit engagements are prominent, Ronny’s experience also extends to SMEs and group audits. His former role as a financial director provides an operational understanding of financial administration, management reporting, control environments, and the pressures connected to business growth. This background enables him to engage effectively with owner managed and mid market enterprises in a direct and commercially aware way.

His work on group audits and consolidation reviews reflects the need for consistent financial information across related entities. These engagements require careful attention to reporting processes, coordination, and the relationship between individual entities and consolidated results. Ronny approaches these tasks with both technical accuracy and an understanding of how financial information is produced and managed within the organisation.

For SME clients, the value of assurance often lies in making technical requirements practical and manageable. Ronny’s recommendations are designed to be clear, actionable, and aligned with the systems and responsibilities management actually has in place. His experience in executive finance also helps him recognise the difference between a control solution that looks good on paper and one that can realistically be maintained by the organisation.

He also contributes to building and expanding assurance teams and services within ETL. He has been involved in integrating and growing assurance operations during regional expansion and mergers, while protecting audit quality.
