Whatever their profession or level of experience, Mazars’ 3,800 employees in France will all be trained in the challenges of data by 2024, with the audit and advisory firm having set up the Mazars Data School to this end in 2022. The aim is to foster a data culture internally in order to respond to the need to transform its working methods and know-how in this area. This initiative, which is part of its ‘One24’ strategic plan for 2024, should enable the company to better exploit the potential of data and master its various uses to improve its service offering. Mazars wants to “equip all employees with a data background so that everyone can be aware of the challenges, opportunities and also risks, and take full advantage of it in their day-to-day work, whether to transform their know-how or to develop new service offerings”, explains Florence Sardas, partner, member of the executive committee of Mazars in France and head of transformation and the data project.
