Mazars has appointed Dima Shamanov as deputy ethics partner. In this newly created role, Shamanov will be responsible for advancing Ethics and Independence and have “oversight of the ethical and moral rigour” applied across the firm.
He joins the firm from EY, where he was an independence director, leading the team responsible for the independence aspect of audit client pursuits, non-audit services consultations and the firm’s acquisitions.
He also brings experience of leading independence efforts in numerous IPOs and SPAC transactions.
Alongside his independence capabilities, he brings with him a “wealth of experience” across a range of roles including IT, Accounting, Tax and Assurance. He holds both a CPA licence from the Israeli Ministry of Justice, BA in Accounting and Economics and MBA degrees and a Diploma in Governance, Risk and Compliance from the International Compliance Association.
Greg Hall, ethics partner at Mazars, said: “Dima is a highly skilled individual who brings a unique combination of accounting and independence expertise to Mazars. As we continue to expand our work within the audit space and take on greater responsibilities, it’s crucial that we are challenged and supported by an experienced Ethics team.
“We have every confidence that Dima will be a great addition to our team and do an excellent job of holding us to the highest standards, ensuring we continue to exceed our clients’ expectations and deliver excellence across the business.”
