BDO Germany has merged with AWT Horwath based
in Munich, Germany.

The firm was previously a member of Crowe
Horwath International and will now operate under the name BDO AWT.
It has about 125 staff and reported fee income of €14m ($19.3m) in
the most recent fiscal year.

BDO said the transaction will further
strengthen its position in Germany, in particular in the southern
part of the country.

BDO Germany managing partner and chief
executive Holger Otte said the firm expects to generate an annual
turnover in Munich of about €25m with a team of about 210
professionals.

Munich will become BDO’s second largest office
in Germany.
