Welcome to the Grant Thornton UK LLP (Grant Thornton) transparency report issued on 30th September 2009.

This has been produced to enable our stakeholders – businesses, investors, regulators and communities – to better understand our organisation. It explains how Grant Thornton is run and how we provide assurance that Grant Thornton performs high quality audit, tax and advisory services. We offer this report as a demonstration of our commitment to openness and transparency.

The report is in respect of the year ended 30 June 2009, which is the fiscal year end for Grant Thornton. The combined worldwide revenue figures in the Grant Thornton International section, however, are reported to a 30 September 2008 year end.

This transparency report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Statutory Auditors (Transparency) Instrument 2008, issued by the Professional Oversight Board (POB) of the Financial Reporting Council for audit firms that perform assurance work for public interest entities. It outlines the legal structure and governance of Grant Thornton and the tools provided to partners and staff to support them in producing distinctive, high quality client service in the fields of assurance and accountancy, tax and specialist advisory services.

The report explains the quality control system and the independence practices and tools used by the firm. It also highlights the attention paid to client acceptance. Transparency is a key element underpinning the confidence of the world’s capital markets in the audit process, and Grant Thornton will continue to play its part in creating a more accountable and robust accounting profession.
