How Eef is building a better working world

By winning my 3 “must-win battles” every day.

First is to be connected and responsive to my clients, and to be their trusted advisor and business partner. Someone who helps them to build greater confidence in their finance function as well as to excel in the financial markets and the wider society.

Second is to be caretaker of our organization’s talent, by fostering and nurturing an environment where we get the best out of our people and stimulate them to invest in themselves, in our clients and in a better working world.

Last, my responsibility towards building a better working world starts with bringing quality in my audit files. Quality is the foundation of our firm as it directly impacts our credibility. Only through quality, I can bring confidence in financial information to the wider community. This is what EY stands for; and I need to deliver on it.
