UHY
Maaji & Co, Nigerian member firm of the global accounting network, UHY, has
announced new CSR policy initiatives aimed at impacting on the lives of
Nigerians.
The
organisation is, among other initiatives, offering scholarships to qualified
Nigerian students who gain admission to universities and other tertiary
institutions to study accounting.
The Managing Partner UHY Maaji
& Co, Mr. Gabriel Idahosa announced this in Lagos. He said that the new UHY
CSR drive in Nigeria would also focus on supporting Nigerian institutions that
promote high accounting standards and corporate governance.
In another development, the UHY Executive Office in London has announced an expansion
of the network with the appointment of two new member firms - Handson &
Partners of Belgium and Audit & Tax Services, S.A. de C.V. of El Salvador.
Handson
& Partners was established by ex‐‘Big Four’ accountant Peter Van Rooy
in 2005. With four partners and 65 staff, the firm has offices in Antwerp, Brussels,
Ghent and Hasselt providing a wide range of accounting and consultancy
services. Eighty percent of the firm’s clients are international or global
companies covering a variety of sectors such IT, construction, automotive
industries, services, and banking and credit institutions.
Managing
partner, Peter Van Rooy says: “We joined the UHY network for a number of
reasons. With the Big Four we share a lot regarding professionalism, training,
coaching and remuneration policy; with the local accountants we share a down‐to‐earth
attitude; and with the interim offices we share the ability to help companies
with temporary staffing issues.
Joining
an international network is not a choice; it is a must for our firm. We work a
lot for international clients and regularly receive requests for services
outside Belgium.
Until now we have used our own network to respond to our
client needs; however it is clear that through joining the UHY network we will
expand our international reach.”
John
Wolfgang, Chairman of UHY commented: “We are delighted Handson & Partners
have joined the UHY network and we are sure their presence in the Flemish
region will further enhance our capabilities in the Belgian market, jointly
with our other member firm, UHY‐CDP Partners.“
Secondly,
Audit & Tax Services, S.A. de C.V. based in San Salvador, was constituted
in May 2010 by managing partner José Eduardo Amaya and Alba Patricia Fabian de
Amaya.
With client operations in South and Central America, and in the
Caribbean, Audit & Tax Services, S.A. de C.V. provides a wide range of
auditing, accounting, tax, business advisory services, including insolvency and
corporate recovery. Their typical clients range from large corporates to small and
medium‐sized companies.
The firm has a portfolio of clients in a
variety of sectors such non‐alcoholic drinks industry, pharmaceuticals, oil industry
and financial services.
Managing
Partner, José Eduardo Amaya says: “We joined the UHY network for a number of
reasons.
The global presence of the network combined with the expertise and
knowledge of UHY’s 7600 people around the world not only strengthens our own
capabilities, locally and internationally, but also these of our clients and
their operations.”
John Wolfgang,
Chairman of UHY commented: “We are delighted Audit & Tax Services, S.A. de
C.V. have joined the UHY network, extending our coverage of the Central America
region.
The firm’s admittance to the UHY network adds a great deal of regional
market and sector expertise and we strongly believe the firm will provide the
depth and breadth of knowledge and experience required to strengthen UHY’s
presence in the Americas.”
Following
their admission, the firm is currently undertaking a re-branding exercise to become
UHY branded in order to capitalise on the benefits and recognition created by
the UHY network globally.
