ArmInfo. The offices of one of the world-renowned consulting and auditing companies EY (formerly Ernst & Young) working in different cities around the world, as well as  representatives of local and international business circles, the  Government of Armenia, customers, partners and friends of the company  gathered July 12 in Yerevan for the annual traditional event Apricot  Party. This time the evening was held in the restaurant "Charles  Terrace" of the Apricot Hotel Yerevan.  The opening address was  delivered to the guests by the Senior Advisor to the EY Managing  Partner for the CIS countries and the head of the EY Assessment and  Business Modeling Group in the CIS countries of the EY Company Akop  Sargsyan. , He said.

In an interview with ArmInfo correspondent, Hakob Sargsyan stressed  that last year EY in Armenia directed efforts to integrate knowledge  and experience within the company's network in the CIS. Last year, a  meeting was held between EY's managing partner for Central, Eastern,  Southeastern Europe and Central Asia, Yacek Kedzior, and Armenian  President Armen Sargsyan, during which the parties discussed the  example of Israel.

The representative of EY stressed that today there are enough  qualified staff in Armenia to create an effective team capable of  solving practically any business problem. "This year we have  strengthened the team and expertise by integrating the knowledge and  experience of our colleagues from other countries.  This allows us to  expand the range of services, ensure their high quality and keep up  with innovations, "said Sargsyan. In general, after the velvet  revolution, according to Sargsyan, there is hope that Armenia will go  in the direction of ensuring a higher level of transparency, building  a more efficient economy and a fair society. "And in all these cases,  without an international team of professionals and world-class  expertise, it will not be easy to understand. Therefore, I am almost  certain: today's realities give hope that in the near future, before  important decisions are made, every step will be carefully thought  out, and the consequences of these decisions will receive a  comprehensive assessment in advance. And this will be done by  world-class high-class specialists, not necessarily only Armenians,  because the more international friends we have, the stronger our  positions in all respects, including in economics, politics, "he  said.  "Over 10 years, our office has grown from eight to 75  employees, not counting about 20 employees who are on long trips at  company offices around the world," said EY managing partner for  Armenia Eric Hayrapetyan.

We note that EY is a global leader in auditing, taxation, transaction  support and consulting. EY has 728 offices in 150 countries. The  company's staff includes 260 thousand employees, who share common  corporate values, as well as a commitment to the quality of services  provided.  EY has been present on the Armenian market since 1999,  however, the company has been active since 2008, when the Yerevan  office became part of the CIS sub-region.
