Randgold Resources has challenged FTSE 250 orthodoxy by appointing a non-Big Four firm as its new group auditor. It was impressed by our Natural Resources credentials – our London-based team acts for more than 30 listed mining companies, with assets from Alaska to Zambia."Our international and sector expertise put us in contention," commented Partner, Scott Knight, "but the Randgold team also saw us as kindred spirits who would be different to work with – I'm convinced that was a key factor."
Randgold's Chief Finance Officer Graham Shuttleworth agrees: "As a top five global firm BDO Stoy Hayward will offer us the highest quality service and we look forward to a long standing relationship," he said. "We also believe that the change of auditors will enhance our controls through a freshlook at the group."
