Our specialism

The depth these
sectors demand

iGaming, fintech, EMI, and CASP businesses operate under regulatory frameworks that most audit firms do not understand deeply enough to serve effectively. Licensing requirements, segregated client money, unusual revenue recognition, IP structure complexity, and multi-jurisdiction regulatory reporting create a compliance burden that requires specialist knowledge — not a generalist team.

We have built a practice around these sectors, with team members who understand MGA licensing conditions, CySEC audit trail requirements, EMI safeguarding obligations, and the IP Box structuring that gaming and tech operators can use to reduce their Cyprus effective tax rate to 3%.

  • Statutory audit of CySEC-regulated investment firms and operators
  • Statutory audit of MGA-licensed gaming operator Cyprus entities
  • EMI safeguarding and client money compliance reviews
  • CASP (crypto asset service provider) audit and AML compliance
  • IP Box structuring for gaming software and technology IP
  • Transfer pricing for intra-group royalty and management fee flows
  • Isle of Man, Gibraltar, and Malta regulatory coordination
