BDO appointed as audit firm and platinum sponsor for iGaming Idol

October 10 2016

BDO Malta, the International Accounting, Auditing, Tax and Consulting firm has been appointed Platinum and Audit partner for the iGaming idol Awards. iGaming idol is an award event which recognises talent in the iGaming Industry and is being presented for the first time in the evening of the 8th of November 2016, during the three day Malta iGaming Seminar at the Grand Masters Suite, Hilton Malta in St. Julian’s.

The firm is a member firm of BDO International and is one of the leaders in exceptional client service with a network that extends globally with over 1,400 offices in more than 154 countries.

Established in Malta in 1978, the local firm continues to grow successfully offering services to both foreign and Maltese clients. Throughout the years BDO have built a team of professionals with in-depth local market knowledge and global industry.  BDO Malta has, for several years, acted as auditors, tax advisers and consultants to numerous Maltese and international gaming and betting companies, both private and publicly quoted.

Speaking about the sponsorship, Michael Pederssen, CEO of iGaming idol stated “Knowing the complexity and the importance of transparency throughout the auditing of the judging process, we knew that BDO Malta was the perfect match for iGaming idol.  They have an established track record for several years building customer relations and dealing with top customers and this is what we were on the lookout for.”

BDO Malta will be provided the task of monitoring and overseeing the credibility of the judging process and ensuring that all nominees are judged fairly.

Mark Attard, CEO of BDO Malta said, “I am often faced with the question, Why you? Why BDO? The answer is fairly simple, because our customer service is top. Today we provide a full range of services to gaming companies in the non-core areas of their business. We are experts in areas they are not and for this reason they trust us to fill in those gaps thus assuring that all aspects of their business, both core and-non core, are handled by experts in their respective field. I Gaming Idol is a great idea that blends the fun that surrounds the gaming scene with the recognition of individuals for their contribution towards the development of this fast-growing and dynamic industry. We are proud to be chosen as audit partners for this great initiative and our main contribution will be to ensure that integrity and fairness are maintained throughout the judging process.”
