TWO NEW PARTNERS have been appointed in forensic accounting and technology services at FRP Advisory.

Christopher Osborne has been appointed as head of forensic accounting and investigation services, joining from Alvarez & Marsal, while Mark Iwaszko has been promoted to partner as head of forensic technology services.

Geoff Carton-Kelly, partner and head of FRP Advisory‘s London office, said: “The welcome arrival of Christopher and the promotion of Mark to the partnership are part of the firm’s continued drive to create and recover value both nationally and internationally. Under the leadership of Christopher and Mark, we have an even deeper wealth of proven in-house expertise to offer to our clients.”
