About STUDIOAMS

Stichting STUDIOAMS ("Foundation")

Stichting STUDIOAMS ("Foundation") was established in Amsterdam in 2010 by Arvid Steensma RA and Endymion Struijs RA; 14 years after they started together, aged 18 years old, with their studies Accountancy at university and careers at one of the Big 4 firms.

Arvid and Endymion strongly share the personal and now also STUDIOAMS' values:

Citizenship
Professionalism
Autonomy

These values brought them to the mission of STUDIOAMS, i.e. to encourage in society:

Trust
Design
Transparency

Arvid and Endymion's vision was to develop and maintain Public Social Networked Infrastructure, borne by the following principles:

Amsterdam School: Professional Integrity as a condition for Ethical Decision Making.
Metropolitan: A Culture of Inclusiveness and Diversity for Unbiased Professional Judgement.
Stakeholders: Stakeholder Relations Management as Social Radar.

Back in 2010, STUDIOAMS came into action by deploying their expertise as certified public accountants (CPA-NL | RA, registeraccountant) at social organizations in order to enhance the organization's reporting (transparency), governance (design) and hence trust by stakeholders.

Build on the STUDIOAMS' mission, values and vision, In 2015, ENDYMION Amsterdam, Studio for Contemporary Public Audit, was established. This was simultaneously the start of a Network of various businesses and social partnerships.

Again 14 years later, end of 2024, 14 years after the establishment of the "Foundation", Arvid and Endymion started Project Black-Pink; they evolved STUDIOAMS into:

"Academy | Institute for Contemporary Public Audit (CPA Amsterdam)"

Adding value to society through:

Academy: Continuing Professional Education (PE/PO), Stakeholder Dialogue, Moral Distress Consultation, Intervision and Practical Experience Training.
Institute: Academic Research & Publishing and the continuous Development of the Contemporary Public Audit ("CPA Amsterdam") Methodology.

Arvid and Endymion's association with the color Pink is that of Unbiased; however in combination with White, Unbiased turns into Innocence, whereas Black with Pink into Professional Skepticism.

The Contemporary Public Audit (CPA Amsterdam) methodology interprets the vision and strategy into a curriculum of Continuing Professional Education: "PERMANENTE EDUCATIE Amsterdam", addressing the maintenance of Technical Knowledge, development of Skills and consciousness of Attitude & Behavior.

And the Contemporary Public Audit (CPA Amsterdam) methodology interprets the vision and strategy into an audit quality system: QUALITY SYSTEM Amsterdam, which is Amsterdam School based, Metropolitan and Stakeholders oriented.

QUALITY SYSTEM Amsterdam

STUDIOAMS maintains the QUALITY SYSTEM Amsterdam in accordance with applicable Laws & Regulation.

Risk assessment process

An Enterprise Risk Management framework, including Systematic Integrity Risk Analysis (SIRA), is designed and implemented in order to demonstrably control an ethical business operation.

Governance and leadership

The day-to-day policy of STUDIOAMS is determined by the Managing Board of (statutory) directors: Arvid Steensma (Academic Professional Practice Director) and Endymion Struijs. Members of the EXPERT PANEL Amsterdam act as a Public Interest Sounding Board to the Managing Board.

Relevant ethical requirements

Any audit practice is independent of the audit client for which it carries out an audit and is not involved in the decision-making of the audit client, whereby independence is required in any case during the period to which the financial statements to be audited relate and during the period in which the statutory audit is carried out.

In the QUALITY SYSTEM Amsterdam measures have been included to ensure that, when conducting an audit, its independence is not affected by any existing or potential conflict of interest or other direct or indirect relationship involving it, the practitioner conducting the audit or, where applicable, any part of the Network, the statutory directors or other persons working under its responsibility.

Acceptance and continuance of client relationships and specific engagements

An audit practice does not accept an assignment for an audit, or will terminate such an assignment, if there are relationships that could influence the results of the audit, on the basis of which an objective, reasonable and informed third party, taking into account the measures as included in the QUALITY SYSTEM Amsterdam, would conclude that the independence of the practice is compromised.

Engagement performance

The QUALITY SYSTEM Amsterdam is implemented in such a way that the activities concerning an audit always take place under the responsibility of an Certified Public Auditor, who complies with the rules on the professional competence of Certified Public Auditors covering a.o. professional competence, objectivity, professional skepticism and integrity.

Resources

Any audit professional involved in an audit engagement always works under the direct responsibility of a Certified Public Auditor. Audit Teams constitute of both experienced and in training to be CPA-s (CPA-NL | RA). The latter participate in our Practical Experience Training program. On an as needed basis experts are involved from our EXPERT PANEL Amsterdam.

Information and communication

An audit practice's business operation is enabled by technology such as our client & engagement acceptance, audit file documentation and financial accounting systems. The directors of an audit practice control and steer a.o. with management information consisting of both non-financial and financial (audit quality) indicators.

The monitoring and remediation process

The audit practice ensures that deficiencies relating to an audit are identified, a.o. through practice and engagement quality reviews, and remedied.
