Chris Pooles

I am a partner in our Thames Valley and West Business Assurance team, where we have over 200 audit professionals deliver robust, high-quality audits to a wide range of mid-market businesses.

I am focused on delivering an intelligent audit process that brings genuine insight to management and I understand the benefits of transparent reporting for businesses and their stakeholders. I have significant experience in the audit of public companies, private equity backed businesses and private companies, with particular sector expertise in Manufacturing and Technology.

All of my audit engagements require international coordination, using colleagues across the BDO International network which spans over 160 countries. I am a US licensed audit partner with significant experience in US GAAP and PCAOB/AICPA reporting.

Outside work, I'm a keen sports fan. I play golf badly and enjoy watching or, where my fitness still allows, taking part in most other sports for the social as well as the competitive aspects.

Ask me about IFRS, FRS102, US GAAP, international coordination and the manufacturing and technology sectors.
