29 Oct 2025 Forvis Mazars Accountants N.V.AFM: €446,000 fine for Forvis Mazars over cheating in internal training tests €446,000
On 29 October 2025 the Autoriteit Financiële Markten (AFM, Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets) fined the audit firm Forvis Mazars Accountants N.V. 446,000 EUR because its quality control system and business operations did not prevent almost 100 professionals at all levels from cheating in tests forming part of technical training between 2020 and 2023, for example by sharing answers or completing tests together. There were no specific rules or controls on the integrity of such tests, and no internal report about it was received. The fine was reduced because of the limited role of the internal tests in the quality system, good cooperation and measures taken, and was accepted in the simplified procedure.
Mandatory training tests need their own integrity rules and controls, and the speak-up culture must also cover cheating in professional training.
Integrity in mandatory training and speak-up culture
Missing or inadequate training played a role in the decision.
