EQ Audit Services was created to reflect the increased demand for audit expertise in the last few years. The firm’s attention is focused on using the audit process to deliver significant value to clients and not simply achieving compliance.

The team at EQ have also gone from strength to strength, with a variety of internal promotions to reinforce their senior team, a robust focus of training and development of their junior team and the recruitment of some experienced professionals.

Mr Stapley joined EQ as a senior audit manager in January 2022, and has been a tremendous asset to the firm, strengthening their audit service in Fife and beyond. Recognising his hard work, commitment and expertise, the RI status provides him with the responsibility for signing off on audit work and audit reports on behalf of EQ Audit Services.

Mark Gibson, fife audit partner, said: “Introducing Greg as an RI is a great testament to the impact he has made since joining EQ and his promotion to RI status will contribute to further growth in our already expanding audit client portfolio.

“Greg is a passionate auditor, and he will continue to deliver value to our clients in his new role.”
