DFK firms in Serbia and Switzerland act as one collaborative team on a joint audit mandate

Pozitiviti DFK and Fidinter have teamed up to deliver a high-quality audit for a client, showcasing the strength of DFK collaboration.

Pozitiviti DFK (our Network member firm from the Balkan region, ranked among the top 10 accounting firms locally) and Fidinter (our Swiss member firm with offices in Zürich and Lausanne and over 100 years of professional service history) jointly manage the audit mandate for Comtrade Group which reported consolidated revenues of US$600 million in 2023.

Comtrade is a dynamic and well-established group of technology companies with a 30-year track record of innovation and steady development. Founded as a software engineering and services company, today it stands at the forefront of the industry in Southeast Europe serving over 2000 customers worldwide. Comtrade delivers high-quality vendor and proprietary software solutions, as well as outstanding system integration services to improve digital transformation across industries. It operates as a holding company in Switzerland for a diverse portfolio of businesses and acts as an incubator for emerging technologies.

The audit engagement has been acquired and operated by Pozitiviti DFK, Serbia, in previous years, who have collaborated with Fidinter, Switzerland, to deliver assurance services of the highest  standard.

Previously, this engagement was handled by a Big 4 firm at both the local and consolidated levels.

We are proud that, through the strong audit expertise of our member firms and their seamless collaboration as one team, Comtrade Group benefits from a high-quality audit that adds value across its operations. This engagement ensures trust among a range of stakeholders, including governments, regulators, standard-setters, investors, company management teams, boards and audit committees.

The importance of quality has never been greater and remains a top priority for DFK firms.

Another great example of DFK firms working together successfully!
