"fscom has a true expertise in the FinTech industry. This expertise reflects on the quality and efficiency of their audit practice. The audit is very well structured, time and cost effective and the focus is putted on what really matters to the regulator and the industry. Conscious of the market best practice and of the audited company's dimensions, the feed-back received during the audit and in the audit report is adapted, balanced and realistic."
Adrien AntoniHead of Compliance, TransferTo
