Brussels, 17 December 2014 – The 47 member organisations of FEE (Federation of European Accountants) appointed Petr Kriz as President and Edelfried Schneider as Deputy-President for a two-year term.
“We must strive to regain trust in the accountancy profession and emphasise the valuable contribution that accountants and auditors make to the economy”, according to Petr Kriz. “Current European developments and technological progress present a unique opportunity to achieve this objective. Fostering relationships with our members and stakeholders and listening to their needs will guide FEE in this process.”
Olivier Boutellis-Taft, FEE CEO commented: “I am very grateful to outgoing President Kilesse for contributing to the continued development of FEE. The new leadership brings the perfect balance of professional and geographical backgrounds to help steer FEE through the ongoing changes affecting the profession.”
