How our connection with Ernst & Young benefits you and your business

Although a locally based and owned firm, Wise Lord & Ferguson accesses the benefits of our close affiliation with Ernst & Young.

Ernst & Young is a leader in the provision of professional services in Australia and around the world. As part of the global Ernst & Young network – with more than 100,000 employees in some 140 countries – their vision is to contribute most to the success of their people and clients by creating value and confidence. Their client-centric focus works smoothly within our firm goals and principles.

Ernst & Young has a reputation as a leader in the use of knowledge and technology. Their philosophy is one of managing and sharing knowledge, which enables them to provide expertise on current trends, leading practices, bench marking and process improvement. Wise Lord & Ferguson clients, through our direct affiliation with Ernst & Young, directly benefit from their knowledge management practices and apply these locally.

In the occasional case where specialist skills not generally found in Tasmania are required, we are able to access a wide range of these knowledge experts at Ernst & Young. In addition, our employees have experienced Ernst & Young’s strong IT expertise by joining their IT Risk Group on secondments, well as their banking group in Sydney.

Additionally we use Ernst & Young’s publications, briefings and training support to provide technical assistance to our clients. Each year a representative from Ernst & Young delivers a Financial Accounting and Reporting update to our clients. Accounting briefs and model statutory accounts are also provided free of charge to our client base on an annual basis.
