DFK International is a major international association

of independent accounting firms and business advisers

that has been meeting the needs of clients with

interests in more than one country for 50 years.

Our association now has over 300 offices across the

world. The association is divided into three regions —

The Americas; Asia-Pacific; and Europe, Middle East &

Africa. Each region appoints a Regional Vice President

who is a member of the Board and also the Executive

Committee. Regional Vice Presidents have a particular

responsibility for ensuring members comply with

DFK’s Membership Criteria.

An Executive Director, employed by the Board, is

based in the DFK International Executive Office in

London and is responsible to the President and the

Board of Directors for all administration and

development of the international association. In larger

countries of the world where there are several DFK

Member Firms, DFK has developed National Groups

to respond to local clients' needs.

Each DFK member firm is an independent legal entity

in its own country. A grouping of members who

include DFK in their firm's name are classified as

network firms in compliance with EU and IFAC

requirements.

DFK International is a non-profit making incorporated

organisation based in the United Kingdom and its

Executive Office is located in London.

OverviewThe range of services that we offer ourclients have three basic premises: quali-ty, agility and cordiality. The quality is reflected in the rigorous

standards of work that we perform on adaily basis, bringing our clients preciseinformation allowing them to optimizedecision making. Also DFK Internationalmaintains intense quality control.Constant changes that affect our clientsdemand that we work proactively, atmaximum efficiency. An excellentreport is totally useless if it does notarrive in time to make the necessarybusiness decisions.For that reason, our staff is trained to

give a fast answer to any client inquiry,and to alert our clients of changes ornew features that can affect their opera-tions. That is agility.Our clients notice these differences,

and always feel well-treated.This level of attention means our part-

ners become directly and personallyinvolved in all tasks, consultations andthe preparation of information. As aresult, clients see us as more than justaccountants and we become trustedallies — and this is only obtained withcordiality.
