process
24
January 2025 - Experian plc, the
global data and technology company, announces that, following the
conclusion of a formal competitive audit tender process, the Board
has approved the re-appointment of KPMG LLP (KPMG) as its external
auditor to take effect from, and including, the financial year
ending 31 March 2027.
The comprehensive audit tender
process followed the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) Minimum
Standard, considered both large and challenger audit firms and was
led by the Audit Committee. In line with applicable UK
legislation*, we tender our audit every 10 years and rotate every
20 years. We disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report & Accounts
that a tender process would be conducted, given KPMG was initially
appointed in 2016.
Further details of the audit tender
process will be included in our 2025 Annual Report & Accounts.
This appointment is subject to shareholder approval at the
Company's 2026 Annual General Meeting.
