Kreston - Peters Elworthy & Moore's International Network - Wins Global Award

March 15, 2012 - PRLog -- The Awards attracted over 100 nominations from around the world across 13 categories and were judged by an independent panel of specialists drawn from the accounting profession.

Only two of the awards related to networks of independent accounting firms: Kreston was awarded ‘Rising Star Network’ and PwC won ‘Network of the Year’, having regained its position as the world’s largest network.

At the London ceremony, IAB Editor, Arvind Hickman, said: “Kreston posted solid growth of 5% but what really impressed judges is Kreston’s successful transition from an association to a network. This involves rolling a common audit methodology, common quality control and an audit firm inspection programme. It’s a massive undertaking, and Kreston and its global membership was recently welcomed to the Forum of Firms for its efforts”.

Paul Chapman, Managing Partner for PEM, said: “This is the first time ever that awards have been directed at global performance. There are over 20 international accounting networks and we are delighted Kreston International was selected. The Award recognises the commitment of PEM and all the Kreston member firms to delivering high quality transnational services in an efficient and seamless manner”.
The Award was collected by members of the Kreston International Executive Team - pictured are Andrew Collier, Joanne Morris, Emma Perkins, Melloney Pritchard and Jon Lisby, CEO.
