MGI Worldwide: Amplifying our voice in the Forum of Firms
How familiar are you with the Forum of Firms (FoF)? As a global association of leading international accounting networks, including the Big 4, the FoF plays a vital role in promoting audit quality worldwide. Yet, many remain unaware of the opportunities it provides.
As a long-standing member, MGI Worldwide is committed to strengthening our engagement and ensuring our firms fully benefit - because its value is significant and now is the time to make the most of it.
From staying ahead of industry developments to enhancing audit quality and having a voice in global decision-making, MGI members interested in learning more can get involved here.
What is the Forum of Firms and why does it matter?
The FoF brings together international networks that perform transnational audits with a mission to promote consistent, high-quality financial reporting and auditing standards worldwide. It also provides a direct connection to standard setters and regulators, allowing mid-tier networks like MGI to actively contribute to discussions shaping the future of audit and assurance.
This is not just about compliance - it’s about having a seat at the table where key decisions affecting our profession are made.
