DFK International

DFK International is a worldwide association of independently owned accounting firms that provide audit, tax and advisory services. Its members work together across more than 430 offices in over 85 countries. Each member firm runs its own business but must meet the association's standards.

What DFK International offers

• Referral network — member firms pass cross-border work to each other.
• International client support — access to peer firms when a client invests, trades or relocates abroad.
• National and regional groups — local chapters, such as DFK UK & Ireland and DFK Australia and New Zealand, that pool knowledge on local rules and practice.
• Conferences and forums — international and regional events, executive forums for managing partners and special interest groups.
• Knowledge sharing and development — shared resources plus development programmes for emerging leaders.

Who it works with

The association serves accounting, tax, legal and advisory firms that want international reach for their clients, and it takes membership enquiries from such firms. Members quoted include Kenway Mack Slusarchuk Stewart LLP in Canada.
