Renowned local audit firm AH & Associates has joined with one of the largest accounting networks in the world, becoming the first Maldivian company to do so.
Now as an associate firm of Crowe Horwath International, which manages around 200 audit firms in over 120 countries, AH & Associates has been rebranded as Crowe Horwath Maldives.
Speaking at the rebranding ceremony held late Monday at Champa Central Hotel in capital Male, managing partner Hassan Mohamed declared that the company’s services will be standardised according to Crowe Horwath’s specifications and will proceed with the latter’s technical aid.
“From now on, Crowe Horwath International will conduct quality assurance checks into our work,” he said.
Crowe Horwath Maldives, which operates branches in both Male and Fuvahmulah island, was granted a rating of A by Maldives Inland Revenue Authority (MIRA). The firm’s services include accounting, taxes and providing counselling to investors in addition to auditing.
Companies must meet specific criterion to become members of Crowe Horwath International, which is included in the world’s top ten audit firms. The criteria includes extensive knowledge of state conditions and suitable amount of experience in the field.
