BDO International is a worldwide network of public accountancy firms, called BDO Member Firms, serving international clients. Each BDO Member Firm is an independent legal entity in its own country. The network, originally formed in 1963, is coordinated by BDO Global Coordination B.V., with an office in Brussels, Belgium. The name, first devised in 1973, is an acronym of Binder Dijker Otte & Co.[1]
As at 30 September 2008, 100 BDO Member Firms in 110 countries employed 44,000 professionals in 1,095 offices throughout the world.
Global fee income of all BDO Member Firms for the year ending 30 September 2008 totalled € 3,649 million (US$ 5,145 million), making BDO International the fifth largest accounting firm network globally.

The rebrand, which included design, messaging, all of the separate global websites, marketing collateral and trickle-down implementation across the 110 countries took just over five months[2]. The intention was to create a global consistency, so that the BDO network could be presented as a single entity.
