A&A Partners hold "Be of Good Use" as our guiding precept and we are expected to remember the precept whenever we decide something. We provide two main services, assurance services and advisory services, which are reflected in the name of our firm. Assurance services include audits for listed companies and audits under the Companies Act. Advisory services include such services as assisting in an initial public offering (IPO) and corporate valuation services, support for adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

In assurance services, we recognize it is very important to understand clients. If we do not understand clients, we could not meet the requirement as the professional. We recognize quality as a matter of the highest priority. If our quality level were low, we would not be able to embody our guiding precept, "Be of Good Use," and would cause great trouble for our clients.
We require our staff members to be highly skilled professionals. We hold or attend training course any time if necessary and acquire sufficient knowledge and skill required as professionals aiming to be of good use.
