Strategic Developments Strengthen Russell Bedford Moscow Firm
Russian member acquires specialist banking and investment audit firm ARNI and opens branch office in Orenburg
London, United Kingdom, December 06, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Mikhailov & Partners, the Moscow member of the Russell Bedford accounting and audit network, has broadened its service offering by acquiring ARNI, a specialist auditor of banks and investment businesses, also based in Moscow.
ARNI was established in 1992 and has developed a strong reputation for audits of banks, financial and investment houses, insurance companies, governmental organisations and industrial groups. The firm will continue to operate under its own brand but as a member of the Mikhailov & Partners Consulting Group. It will share the offices of the Russell Bedford Moscow firm.
The acquisition brings Mikhailov & Partners the opportunity to expand its share of the Russian audit and consulting market and to broaden its service portfolio by obtaining licences for bank and investment audit services.
In a separate strategic move designed to further reinforce its presence in the Russian market, Mikhailov & Partners has also announced the opening of a new office in Orenburg in the Volga Federal District, some 1500km southeast of Moscow. This area, close to the border with Kazakhstan, is home to several large businesses and subsidiaries of foreign companies in the oil and gas and energy production sectors.
Mikhailov & Partners was established in 1995 and is now one of the largest multi-discipline professional services groups in Russia. The group provides a wide range of services including audit, accounting, legal advice, tax and management consulting, valuation, international project support and HR consulting. M&P has been a member of Russell Bedford International since 2004.
