Globalisation has led to a dramatic change in investment and business possibilities. The LDP group pro-actively identified this shift, recognised the importance of being associated with an international group of audit professionals and became a member of Independent Accountants International (AI), with more than 200 public accounting firms located in Europe, North and South America, the Far East and Australasia as members. In January 2004 AI merged with a similar organisation, Polaris Independent Accountants International and formed Polaris International (PI).
