How did we do?



As a Corporate Service Provider, we engaged Ecovis to audit three structured finance vehicles (the Alba entities) which have acquired separate portfolios of residential mortgages through the issuance of Loan Notes.

We deal with a number of audit firms, predominately big4/top 10 and we were very impressed with the audit approach of Ecovis. They provided a professional level of service and clearly had the technical expertise to manage a complex audit engagement. They were very communicative during the audit process and managed the engagements to a very high standard to meet the deadlines.

It was a pleasure to work with their audit team and we will be looking to use them again on future engagements.

We have recently worked with Ecovis on the audit of one of our SPVs and were very happy with the service provided. We were consistently kept up to date on the progress of the audit.

The main issues on the audit were identified early in the process and practical solutions were found to avoid delays.

It was a pleasure working with ECOVIS on our RMBS deal together. Your team maintained lines of communication with our accountants to ensure that review points were swiftly attended to and cleared.

The areas that the audit focused on were relevant and adjusted to the nature of the special purpose vehicle, rather than a blanket boilerplate approach.

Overall, one of the best audit experiences we have encountered to date. Happy to work with your team and ECOVIS on many more future deals together.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ecovis, and I was well pleased with the service they provided. From the initial consultation to the final report, the team demonstrated professionalism and expertise.

What truly sets Ecovis apart is their personalized approach. Despite being a small firm, they provided a level of service that rivals larger companies. I always felt like a valued client, and their timely and responsive communication made the entire experience seamless and stress-free.
