Understanding the OB Global Network Structure and Governance
OB is the brand used by a growing global organization through which the member firms of OB Global Limited (OBGL) deliver professional services. Collectively, these firms comprise the OB network.
The term "OB" may refer to an individual firm within the network or, more broadly, to some or all of the firms together.
In many jurisdictions, accounting firms are required by law to be locally owned and independently operated.
Private company limited by guarantee
Separate legal entities in their jurisdictions
Professional services delivery
OBGL is an English private company limited by guarantee. It does not practice accountancy or provide services to clients. Its role is to promote coordination and collaboration among OB member firms.
Member firms are separate legal entities that use the OB name and have access to shared resources and methodologies. They agree to comply with common policies and uphold OB network standards.
The Network Leadership Team and Board of OBGL develop and implement policies and initiatives aimed at supporting a consistent and coordinated approach among member firms where appropriate. By focusing on areas such as strategy, brand, risk, and quality, they ensure excellence across the network.
The OB network is not a single global partnership, and OB member firms are not legal partners of one another. Although many member firms have legally registered names that include "OB Global Limited," OBGL does not hold any ownership interest in those firms.
No member firm may act as an agent of OBGL or any other member firm, nor may it bind or obligate OBGL or any other member firm. Each firm is responsible only for its own acts or omissions and not for those of OBGL or any other member firm.
Likewise, OBGL does not act as an agent of any member firm, cannot bind or obligate any member firm, and is responsible solely for its own acts or omissions. Member firms may request support from other member firms and/or arrange for professional services to be delivered by other member firms or entities.
