Integrating Ernst & Young Asia-Pacific
Ernst & Young Asia-Pacific operates across 8 time zones, in 20 countries with more than 27,000 people and 1,200 partners. Ernst & Young Asia-Pacific works closely with our three other integrated areas - the Americas, EMEIA (Europe, Middle East, India and Africa) and Japan - to meet our clients’ needs for a truly global service.
In our profession, we are the first to achieve integration of this scale and scope.
Why global integration?
Globalisation is altering the business environment, with capital shifting from developed to emerging markets and widespread demographic changes creating a more integrated workforce around the world. These developments will have an impact on business, particularly for organisations that operate globally. But even for companies that operate within Australia’s borders, customers and employees come from many cultures, global developments can have local impact overnight and traditional ideas and practices can be quickly challenged.
In the global domain leading organisations will be those whose business strategy can navigate the different geographies, culture, and markets, and take advantage of the inherent strengths of multicultural teams.
At Ernst & Young, we aim to help our clients respond to these market conditions by adopting both a global structure and a global mindset.
How do you benefit?
