EY—Andrew Gordon

EY’s new global FIDS head

Andrew Gordon has been appointed as EY's new global head of fraud investigation and disputes service (FIDS). Before his move to EY, Andrew spent almost 30 years in PwC’s forensic services business, three of which were as its global and UK head. He takes over the role from David Stulb, who has retired from EY after 14 years with the business.  

Commenting on his move, Andrew said: ‘Businesses are under increased scrutiny to demonstrate transparency and accountability as the fight against fraud, bribery and corruption intensifies. It is a privilege to lead EY Global FIDS at this time. My focus is on working with our international team of forensic accountants, compliance and technology professionals to support clients across multiple industry sectors and geographic regions to address the complex financial and reputational risks they are facing.’

EY’s global vice chair of assurance, Felipe Persico, added: ‘With his strong track record, Andrew will provide valuable strategic leadership as we transform and grow our services through leading-edge technology to respond to the needs of clients facing a changing geopolitical landscape and complex regulatory environment. I look forward to working closely with Andrew and his team to continue FIDS’ success.’
