Our integrated partnership

Since our foundation, we have chosen the demanding option of being a truly integrated firm. Forvis Mazars Group is organised as a democratic, internationally integrated partnership. It gives each partner the right to vote on the strategic decisions involving the future of the firm.

This kind of responsibility is central to our principles and practices. It runs throughout the organisation and is expressed daily in the way we exercise our profession and in the relationship we maintain with our social and economic environment. We established an integrated international partnership with the principal objective of guaranteeing consistent quality in our service to clients. Our clients with international activities wish for well coordinated services which reflect their own corporate structure. This requires auditors and advisers who are intimate with their group requirements regardless of where in the world they operate. We believe our integrated structure offers this consistency and enables direct control over standards. By integrating partners coming from firms who share values that go deeper than cultural differences, who share the same ideas about our profession and the same demanding standards of excellence, we are patiently and determinedly building a strong international organisation of professionals who have also chosen to share the same ambition, strategy and fundamental decisions.

Democracy and transparency

Our model is democratic and transparent, both internally and externally. The direction of the Forvis Mazars Group is devolved to its Group Executive Board (GEB), whose members are elected every four years based on a clearly defined road map. Additionally, the Group Governance Council (GGC) is tasked with supporting GEB decisions and ensuring that the Group’s ethical rules are not infringed.
