FBK’s Managing Partner Alexey Terekhov and FBK’s Partner Vladimir Potekhin Interviewed by Expert RA on Public Market Trends

In 2024, the capital market has seen a growing interest of companies in public listing and development of new debt market tools (e.g. DFAs). As noted by Alexey Terekhov, Managing Partner at FBK, in his interview to Expert RA, the auditor bears a much greater social responsibility to the community when auditing such companies. In this case, financial statements are a way to communicate with the market. Therefore, FBK always strives to build a partnership with its clients, which allows the firm to provide high quality services and opt for a comprehensive approach when assessing a client's situation.

The bond market, as part of the financial market, has also demonstrated positive dynamics throughout the year, both in terms of an increase in the number of issuers, securities placed, and yields. This is due to the fact that in the context of tightening monetary policy and rising inflation, bonds, according to Vladimir Potekhin, Partner at FBK, are a reliable, high-quality and time-proven tool – from publicity to transparency, as well as the understanding of accounting shaped over the years.

On 30 October, Vladimir Potekhin will speak at the 5th Annual Forum Future of the Bond Market, where he will feature on the ‘Catalysts of Successful Placements: Who Helps Issuers?’ section and use FBK's successful cases to talk about the success criteria within the initial public offering of bonds or new issues, as well as the role of the auditor in this process.
