EY has promoted 509 of its staff to become partners across the member firms of the organization worldwide.
EY chief executive and global chairman Mark Weinberger said he was pleased that 26% of the appointed partners, 131, were women.
Weinberger added that it was the highest percentage intake so far, representing a steady increase from only 19% being women in 2008, but that there is still more to do.
