Bou Fayad was founded in Beirut in 1984 — the worst possible year to open an auditing house, which is exactly why our standards hardened the way they did.
We do not cross-sell consulting into engagements we audit. We don’t lobby on behalf of clients we sign off. Partners are remunerated on technical quality and retention, not origination.

Forty years on bank audits, sovereign restatements and post-war engagements no one else would sign.
