Deloitte makes an impact that matters. We challenge ourselves every day to do what matters most – for our clients, our people and society.
This sense of purpose has spanned our 160-year history. In 1849, William Deloitte invented a rigorous system to protect investors in the expanding Great Western Railway network against fraud. Such was its success that the company’s shareholders recommended the practice of external auditors be adopted into law. And so both the independent audit, and Deloitte as a firm, were born.
That innovative mind-set of William Deloitte lives on in our firm today, as we push the boundaries of our work harnessing the power of technology, our people are responding to the ever evolving needs and challenges of clients and society. From the outset, our values of quality and integrity have never wavered. We seek to drive higher standards of governance and transparency through our practices, bringing confidence to the key decisions of business and government alike.
