William Buck grows audit and assurance
Chartered accounting and advisory firm William Buck has moved to boost the size and reach of its audit and assurance division with a key appointment.
Suggesting it believed audit and assurance services would represent a growth area in 2012, the company said it had appointed Grant Martinella as a director with the audit and assurance division.
It said Martinella's appointment had followed the appointment of another director - Matthew King - in November last year, taking the Adelaide-based firm to a total of 17 directors and over 130 staff.
Commenting on the move, William Buck managing director Jamie McKeough said that with three registered company auditors now on board, the company was well positioned to offer audit and assurance services to a range of businesses from public and private companies to associations and not-for-profit entities.
He said that prior to joining William Buck, Martinella had been an audit partner and team leader at WHK Crowe Howarth.
