Transparency report
Welcome to the Grant Thornton global transparency report for 2018
Governance and management
Grant Thornton International Ltd (GTIL) is a private company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales. It is a non-practising international umbrella entity that does not provide services to clients.
Grant Thornton member firms around the world deliver services to clients. References to ‘Grant Thornton’ in this report are to the brand under which the Grant Thornton member firms provide assurance, tax, advisory, outsourcing and other services to their clients, and/or refers to one or more member firms, as the context requires.
As of 1 January 2018, GTIL has more than 135-member firms. Each member firm is a separate legal entity. Membership of the global network does not make any firm responsible for the services or activities of other member firms. GTIL and its member firms are not agents of, and do not obligate, one another and are not liable for one another’s acts and omissions. Member firms carry the Grant Thornton name, either exclusively or as part of their national practice names.
