For the financial year under review, we are pleased to report a 13.4% increase in fee income over the same period last year. The global COVID-19 pandemic has thought us to be as resourceful as we can in the face of adversity and to adapt to circumstances such that we continue to thrive. These results are only possible in an environment where our clients and our engagement teams are perfectly in-sync in their quest to succeed. We are grateful to all our clients for their continued business and to all our members of staff for their dedication to servicing our clients in a timely and professional manner, guided by BDO’s purpose of ‘People Helping People Achieve Their Dreams’
Our people continue to be the most valuable resource. The Firm will continue its investment in people, culture, training and development to ensure that it is able to meet the growing demand for its services. At BDO, we fully believe that exceptional service to our clients begins, and ends, with exceptional regard for our people. We have retained our status as ACCA Gold Partners and we have ensured that safety and wellbeing of our staff are prioritised at all times during the pandemic.
Our Social Committee is driven by dedicated staff members on a voluntary basis who cherish being of service to their colleagues, fully supported by the Firm.
We will repay our clients’ trust and our people’s unwavering loyalty by working harder, always keeping their best interests at the heart of our decision making. At the time of publishing this report, global business has still not fully recovered to pre-COVID-19 levels and other uncertainties have also surfaced.
Our business, and our clients’ businesses, are not immune to these risks. However, we are confident that our business is resilient to withstand these shocks and we continue to be well-positioned to benefit from the upside that will surely result in due course.
