Smooth implementation. Centralised verification. 

Rentokil Initial’s transition to Atticus to support their US listing was remarkably smooth and helped them to meet compliance requirements. 

Rachel Canham, Group General Counsel and Company Secretary, shared, “The implementation process was straightforward. We received budget approval in December and rolled out the system to our core team by February, with training included. Atticus is intuitive, making the process hassle-free.”

Atticus centralises Rentokil Initial’s verification efforts, involving over 30 internal users who use the software regularly for documents that include the 20-F annual report (required for the US listing), their UK annual report, and result announcements and presentations. 

“The system simplifies tracking, identifying who has verified what statement and highlighting pending verifications. Notifications for these pending items prove particularly useful for our team, and the dual sign-off feature streamlines review processes.”
