“I welcome CSA’s decision to enter the Russian market. We see economic growth in Russia and a huge potential for further development. At this stage of rapid development, Russian commercial and non-commercial organizations are hungry for global experience and practices, as well as new directions and trends in the world markets. I believe CSA’s existing expert database can be extremely valuable to meet all the requirements from our Russian clients. We will also contribute leading internationally recognized Russian authorities to help increase the transparency and culture divide between Russia and the western markets,” says Natalya Vinogradova.
