On behalf of Mazars in Ireland, I am very pleased to present our Transparency report 2020. The publication of our Transparency report is an important milestone in our year. It is one of the moments where we have an opportunity to report to all of our stakeholders in respect of the progress of the firm against our key goals – goals that guide the quality of our work, the development of our people and the impact of our firm within our professions, in the business community and on society as a whole. The report summarises the dedicated work of our partners and our excellent Non-Executive Public Interest Committee members, Ms. Denise Fletcher and Ms. Eimear Moloney, on a range of topics and I hope will provide readers with a good understanding of our firm, our approach, and our ethos.
