Paul Eagland, Managing Partner at BDO commented:

“Quality remains a priority at BDO and these appointments are a reflection of our continued investment and commitment to providing work of the highest standard.

“Financial reporting has become increasingly complex and keeping up to date with changing accounting standards can be challenging for businesses across all sectors, particularly those that are highly regulated such as financial services and insurance.
