On 6 October 2016, the International Accounting Bulletin (IAB) named Baker Tilly International 'Network of the Year' at their annual award ceremony.
This is a great achievement collectively for our network, and a valuable independent endorsement of our successful growth strategy. It is also well deserved recognition for each of our member firms: ultimately it is our growth, drive and delivery of exceptional client service that have earned us international recognition.
The awards were judged by an independent panel. Networks had to demonstrate the execution of profitable growth strategies during the past 12 months and had to have excelled in a number of key strategic and operational areas. They also had to be recognised by the industry as a reputable brand that consistently delivers high quality professional services.
It was a tightly fought category, with Baker Tilly International beating RSM International into second place.
Judges praised the network’s innovation in our adoption of Global Focus, our new audit methodology, and on being the first network to have achieved the ACCA Approved Employer status award in professional development.
