New appointment gives UHY comprehensive region expertise
New member firm in Brazil extends portfolio in Latin and South America

UHY, an international network of independent accountancy and consultancy firms, extends its coverage of the Latin and South America region with the appointment of a new member firm in Brazil.

The appointment of UHY Moreira - Auditores in Brazil adds to the comprehensive range of coverage of UHY member firms across the region.

UHY Moreira - Auditores are a four-partner firm with a team of 85 professionals, and offices in Brasília, Curitiba, Porto Alegre, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. The firm was founded in 1965, the same year as the law enforcing auditing was passed in Brazil. Since establishment the firm has worked on some of the key developments, contributing to the current structure of the Brazilian economy, in particular working on the country’s biggest privatization in the telecommunications market. The firm specialize in a number of sectors including energy, education, insurance, healthcare and IT software. Their comprehensive client portfolio boasts some of the major players in growing Brazilian industries, including the National Electric Energy Authority.

Founder and Managing Partner, Paulo Fernando Falkenhoff Moreira, commented:

“With nearly 50 years experience working with national and international businesses, we have achieved a great many things, and look to our membership of the UHY network to help us build on this success and continue to grow and establish an international presence over the next 50 years. I know through my own experience of working with international clients and from reports made for foreign subsidiaries of Brazilian firms, that UHY Moreira - Auditores will be able to significantly contribute to and benefit from the UHY network."

President of UHY, John Wolfgang, commented:

“We are delighted UHY Moreira - Auditores have joined UHY, extending our coverage of the Latin-America region. Brazil is one of the world’s largest economies and with its natural resources in increasing demand, has enormous potential for growth. Brazil’s economy has been largely unaffected by the global credit crunch, which has had a dramatic impact on more mature western economies, and with the Brazilian real steadily increasing in value against other major currencies, direct foreign investment in Brazil looks to be even more appealing for international businesses."
