Once again, Accountancy Age has recognized TAG Alliances® as one of the top three accounting alliances in the world for 2020. This is the ninth consecutive year that TAG Alliances has been ranked in this prestigious position. The rankings include 20 associations and alliances, and are based on the collective revenues of each organization’s member firms. TAG Alliances is prominently featured in Accountancy Age's report, "International networks, associations and alliances grow in perilous times," which announces the 2020 rankings and examines the status of international networks, associations, and alliances amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and economic crises.
In the article, TAG Alliances President & CEO, Richard Attisha, discusses potential threats to the accounting profession that have arisen from the pandemic, including managing new risk exposures and the deterioration on diversity and inclusion:
“This pandemic, and the resulting changes to the profession, have significantly shifted the focus of firms to managing risk exposures related to the quality of remote audits, remote sharing of information, data and cybersecurity issues, and effective and unified team interactions"
"Another negative effect of this global instability is the most recent deterioration on diversity and inclusion. The lack of diversity on our teams and communities detrimentally impacts how we work and collaborate with others, restricts our ability to attract work, and discourages powerful leadership qualities that motivate teams to be better problem solvers, think creatively, and perform to their fullest potential. These actions will only regress our economies rather than fuel them. We endeavour to lead by example and demonstrate the strength and power that comes from a diverse community that is connected, supportive, agile, and resilient.”
In addition to being one of the largest alliances in the world, TAG Alliances also distinguishes itself as one of the few multidisciplinary alliances for accounting firms. Composed of TIAG® (The International Accounting Group), an alliance of independent accounting firms; TAGLaw®, an alliance of independent law firms; and TAG-SP®, a multidisciplinary alliance of strategic partners, TAG Alliances serves the full business needs of its members' clients in over 110 countries.
