Moore Stephens first became involved in Russia in 1989 when we assisted a major state company with its restructuring programme. In 1991 we became the first firm to carry out the audit of a Russian enterprise to International Audit Standards. Moore Stephens is now one of the leading firms in the region with offices in Russia (four) and a London desk based in the offices of Moore Stephens LLP. These offices operate as a single unit. Staff members are regularly exchanged between offices and all staff are available to participate in the assignments of other offices within the grouping. We also regularly participate in joint assignments and staff exchanges with other members of the Moore Stephens International network and in other countries across the world.
