Mazars appoints new forensic investigations and compliance partner

Mazars has appointed Rachael Hart to the newly created position of forensic investigations and compliance partner in the financial advisory team.

In her new role, Hart will be responsible for growing and developing Mazars’ forensic investigation and compliance strategy and will be part of the financial advisory team.

She will focus on serving financial services clients, developing propositions relating to financial crime, with particular emphasis on sanctions.

Hart joins Mazars from FTI Consulting where she was managing director. Prior to this she spent 19 years at KPMG, where she was a director in its risk consulting division.

James Gilbey, head of financial advisory services, said: “We are extremely pleased to welcome Rachael into the partnership. Her expertise is highly complementary to our practice and she will help deepen our capabilities in the investigations and compliance space which is subject to considerable regulatory scrutiny. She already has extensive experience in the sector and will be important in continuing the great work we already do at Mazars.”
