International network Mazars has acquired Deloitte Public Sector Internal Audit (DPSIA), a subsidiary of Deloitte UK that provides internal audit services to local government and health organisations.
Although no date for the completion of the deal was announced, Mazars UK senior partner Phil Verity said he was looking forward to welcoming the team "in early 2014."
DPSIA has 120 audit staffs based in London and the South East. Mazars currently has more than 1,300 staff in the UK, according to the International Accounting Bulleting's UK Survey, meaning the additions will increase the firm's total headcount by about 9%.
Verity also noted the public services sector "is a key strategic growth market for the firm, and we will continue to support its development at a national level in the coming years."
