“Development of the trust economy has become the main topic of the SPIEF this year. And this is a key topic for FBK as well. We are both the subject and the object there. By providing an extensive range of services we help businesses to build their reputation, which is a basis for the trust economy. At the same time, as one of the major auditors, we need to have impeccable reputation,” said FBK Grant Thornton President Sergey Shapiguzov summarizing the results of the forum.
