AWD Group's main UK business operations are in Manchester. Its' senior management is based in London. "We set up a national team to mirror AWD's structure," says Steve Williams, Financial Services Group Manager. "Two financial services partners take the lead from London. In Manchester, I co-ordinate the team doing the on-site work.
"Our BDO Member Firm in Germany audits the group, which greatly simplifies the dialogue between the UK and group auditors. We visited the German firm early on to identify and pre-empt any potential problems. Now we are building relationships at local, UK board and group level to make our service more effective." |
