Please see our statement as part of the BDO Group and on behalf of BDO Global:

BDO deplores the violation of international law and military aggression in all its forms. We stand with the Ukrainian people and we wish for peace to be restored.

Since the eruption of the conflict, our absolute priority has been – and remains – the safety and wellbeing of our BDO colleagues and their families on the ground.

BDO’s leadership teams at global and at firm level have been working around the clock to provide support to our BDO people and to the relief effort overall. This includes assisting the evacuation process and ongoing practical requirements, such as transportation, relocation and accommodation, as well as providing immediate financial assistance.

We are in awe of the bravery and resilience shown by our colleagues in the region and we are extremely grateful for the way BDO has come together globally to support them.
