DWS Group Launches Tender Process for Auditor Rotation
DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA has initiated a tender process for the annual statutory audit of its financial statements, and for the audit of the group financial statements, in compliance with EU regulation requiring a rotation of a public-interest entity’s statutory auditor at regular intervals.
This process was commenced against the background of the EU Auditor Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 which requires public interest entities to rotate their statutory auditor after a maximum engagement duration of ten years.
DWS’ Audit & Risk Committee oversees the tender process with the aim to enable an appointment of a new statutory auditor at the 2026 Annual General Meeting (AGM) for the audit of DWS’ financial statements and the Group financial statements of 2026.
