Forensic Risk Alliance teams up with Kick it Out

Forensic accounting firm Forensic Risk Alliance (FRA) is to provide pro bono services to the charity Kick It Out, English football’s equality and inclusion organisation. 

Together, they intend to develop strategies to fight racism and discrimination in football and its educational and community sectors. The partnership kicked off this month with FRA examining how to improve insight from data on incidents of racism and discrimination.

Toby Duthie, founding partner of FRA, said: ‘Having the opportunity to apply our technical and data-driven expertise to achieve such goals in a sport that is so pivotal to so many gives us enormous pleasure.’
