Statutory audit plays a fundamental role in the successful management of any bank, particularly when audit teams can establish effective working relationships based on mutual trust and respect with key players within a bank, including management, non-executive directors and other advisers.

Our approach to statutory audit ensures that these relationships are developed and maintained throughout our engagement with you.

Our specialist team has experience in providing statutory audit to domestic banks, subsidiaries and branches of international banking groups, investment firms, fund managers, special purpose vehicles and property investors. 

Mazars has a unique, integrated structure that allows us to put together cross-border teams under a single engagement partner.  Our approach to audit is robust and challenging.  We do not shy away from face-to-face discussion and challenge on audit issues – we have all the technical processes and procedures clients would expect of an international firm, but our partners do not hide behind them.

Mazars follows a partner-led client service. We do not make a habit of changing your Mazars team once it has engaged with you – it is the norm for the partner who starts working with you to stay with you as long as current rotation rules allow.

We also care about our industry. We have long pressed for a debate on audit competition. We believe that companies and their shareholders alike deserve the benefits that increased competition can bring and are committed to playing an active role in shaping its future.
