Ghost Stories Ep25: A Landmark Network (with Anoop Ninan, CEO of Mazars in South Africa)

Listen Later

Mazars has announced a landmark network with Forvis, creating a top 10 firm in the USA. The CEO of Mazars in South Africa, Anoop Ninan, joined me to unpack why this is important. Of course, I didn’t waste the opportunity to tap into his extensive business knowledge at the same time!

Topics discussed included:

  • An overview of the unique network with Forvis and why this is important in a professional services environment that is highly fragmented in the assurance and related services space.
  • How audit firms try to differentiate themselves in the market, specifically across technology, people and partner-led service.
  • The ownership structure of these audit firms and how that works in this network situation.
  • The impact of this network on existing and prospective South African clients.
  • The Mazars growth strategy in South Africa and the sectors that are seeing significant activity, with reference to the advisory teams in Mazars and the work that they do.
  • The public company vs. private company landscape in South Africa, particularly in the context of an ever-shrinking JSE.
  • An overview of the broader Mazars service offering, including data insights and related services.
  • The impact of greylisting on how we are perceived internationally and the level of foreign direct investment.
  • South Africa’s ongoing positioning as the gateway to Africa and where the “good news” stories are in our economy.

    • For more information on the Forvis Mazars network, you can read this article.
