Michael Antoniades

Board Member, Chairman

KPMG in Cyprus

I demand quality, skill and performance but on the other hand I have a reputation of being firm and fair. We view audit as a mean to provide value added feedback and experience to clients, thus I take advantage of every opportunity to become involved with projects that are enhancing knowledge and experience in the industry. Designing and implementing integrated management information systems, emphasizing on divisional and divisional manager performance and participating on the design and implementation of international tax structures have been such opportunities that facilitate in a better understanding of the client operations and needs, resulting in more effective and cost efficient audits and eventually providing constructive feedback to our clients. Being the Oil and Gas Industry Leader of KPMG in Cyprus I have more than 22 years of experience in audit, international tax and advisory projects of sizeable multinational groups within the Oil and Gas Industry. In addition, I am monitoring closely all developments of the Oil and Gas exploration opportunities in the economic zone of Cyprus and I actively interact with the Ministry of Energy and participating companies. In addition, since my recruitment by KPMG UK in 1990 I have been heavily involved with clients in the Financial Services Industry, Banks, Insurance Companies, Funds and Investment Companies and thus I have gained extensive experience in managing both internal and external audit projects and other attestation exercises within these industries, as well as the public sector. Currently I maintain the position of Head of Insurance for KPMG Cyprus.
