The most important value shared among our member firms is “a safe pair of hands”. When one of our firms is supported by a fellow member in another part of the world, they need to be sure that their client’s precious business will be looked after with the high quality and expertise that they are used to at home.

Our quality assurance (QA) systems are innovative and efficient. While we do not have the resources of the very biggest firms, with their globe-trotting QA departments, we leverage member expertise and technology to focus QA review and remediation where it is most needed.

The Forum of Firms is an independent association of international networks of firms that perform transnational audits. The objective of the Forum is to promote consistent and high-quality standards of financial reporting and auditing practices worldwide — bringing together firms that perform transnational audits and involving them more closely with IFAC’s activities in audit and other assurance-related areas. Members of the Forum of Firms must demonstrate their commitment to adhere to and promote the consistent application of high-quality audit practices worldwide, as detailed in the FoF Constitution. The Forum was founded in 2002 by the Big Four firms plus BDO and Grant Thornton and now comprises 31 members – www.forumoffirms.org.
