About the Transparency Report

Pursuant to the Norwegian Act on Audit and Auditors, BDO is required to publish an annual transparency report. This report shall show how we secure independence and quality in the audit process.

The purpose is to ensure transparency and insight into how we meet our social duties. In this year’s transparency report you can read more about our continuous efforts to improve the quality of the audit.

The last decade has brought substantial changes for the audit business, but our role as society’s trustees has not changed. On the contrary, we notice that the job carried out by the auditors has become even more deeply rooted in society. We take the trust we receive very seriously, and we are obliged to deliver services of the best possible quality at all times.

Society needs to know that we attend to our social responsibility in the form of integrity, objectivity, attitudes, culture and expertise. BDO shall be a company for the future – for our clients, our employees and for society. Trust in BDO has been demonstrated by the fact that more than 40,000 enterprises, including many public-interest entities, have chosen to be our clients.

BDO AS is part of BDO International Limited. ”BDO” or ”BDO AS” in this report refers to BDO AS with the organisation number 993 606 650. When we refer to our international network, we use the term BDO Global or BDO International Limited.
