Transparency Report

Message from our Managing Partner

2025 was a year that reinforced the essential role of trust, transparency and resilience in Ireland’s economy.

As businesses, public institutions and society navigate an environment defined by rapid technological change, geopolitical uncertainty and increasing regulatory expectations, the quality of the audit and assurance services we deliver has never been more important.

Our clients operate in an increasingly complex environment. Volatility continues to challenge forward planning and demands strong, adaptive leadership. Business leaders are integrating new technologies while responding to geopolitical developments, economic uncertainty and ever evolving regulations.

In this context, our clients and stakeholders place their trust in us to help them navigate complexity as their needs evolve.

Our people and the future of work

We are a people led business. Our long term success depends on attracting, developing and rewarding exceptional talent so we can deliver the highest quality outcomes for our clients and stakeholders.

As ways of working continue to evolve, we remain focused on providing an outstanding experience for our people, enabling them to bring their best selves to their work.

In 2026, we will reach a once in a generation milestone as we move our Dublin based teams into our new, state of the art headquarters on Harcourt Street, an investment that reflects the needs of tomorrow’s workforce and the highest standards of workplace design.

Our investments and AI

Over the past 12 months, artificial intelligence has continued to advance at pace. We have invested heavily in technology platforms to ensure we are market leaders in this space. Our clients are focused on unlocking value through responsible AI, balancing innovation with regulation, and safeguarding data integrity.

Across the firm, we continue to upskill our professionals, equipping them with the tools and training needed to harness AI responsibly while upholding the highest standards of quality and ethics.

We understand the transformative opportunities provided by artificial intelligence.
