We audit and advise companies in the supply and waste management industry - from listed companies to government-run companies.

The tasks of utility companies are subject to constant changes. This concerns, on the one hand, the legal framework, and on the other hand, political and technical requirements, such as the provision of modern infrastructure for smart metering and broadband connections. This area of ​​conflict is further exacerbated by the influences of antitrust law, public procurement law, and European law.

The rapidly changing needs in these areas require a quick response from the parties involved and a global knowledge of the issues from auditors and consultants.

Another challenge for utility-oriented facilities for energy supply and waste disposal is prompted by special tax regulations. For this reason, the public sector and its companies need industry-specific tax advice.
