Deloitte UK has appointed Zahir Bokhari as
head of the banking and capital markets audit business within the
firm’s financial services group.

the financial services industry, particularly in light of the
changing regulatory and accounting landscape. 

“[Bokhari’s] wealth of experience and
knowledge will play an integral role in guiding Deloitte’s clients
