Deloitte has announced plans to launch an EMEA firm, effective from 1 June 2026.
The Big 4 firm said Deloitte EMEA will strengthen collaboration across boarders at greater pace and scale among 16 participating firms within Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region, each of which remains responsible for the services it provides within its own market.
