Audit Recruitment Insights
FAQs
Dutch companies are operating under stricter oversight from De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB), the Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM), and EU regulators. Internal auditors are needed to manage compliance, strengthen governance, and address risks such as ESG reporting, cyber security, and digital transformation.
Many professionals hold Dutch accounting qualifications such as RA (Registeraccountant) or AA (Accountant-Administratieconsulent), alongside international designations like CIA, CPA, and ACCA. Knowledge of Dutch GAAP, IFRS, and EU directives is highly valued.
The strongest demand comes from banking, insurance, and asset management. There is also growing need in energy, logistics, technology, and multinational corporations with headquarters or operations in the Netherlands.
They identify operational risks, improve efficiency, and provide insights that support strategic decision-making. For Dutch companies competing across Europe and globally, auditors also play a vital role in managing cross-border regulations and strengthening resilience.
We combine in-depth knowledge of the Dutch regulatory environment with access to international talent pools. Our consultants focus on both technical expertise and cultural fit, connecting businesses with auditors who support immediate priorities and long-term growth.
