BDO’s Financial Services Group is delighted to announce that it has been appointed as one of Lloyd’s recognised accountants.

The appointment means that the firm will now be included in the select panel of accountants which can provide audits to Lloyd’s agencies and its numerous syndicates.

Philip Alexander, Head of Insurance, at BDO says: “We are delighted to have been included in this prestigious panel.  The appointment comes after we have made a significant investment in our service offerings which will now be passed on to our Lloyd’s syndicate clients.”

“It is also a recognition of the work BDO has been doing to grow both our specialist insurance offering and our financial services group as a whole.  We look forward to working with Lloyd’s over the coming months and years,” concludes Alexander.
