Together, doing the right thing to bring and maintain quality at a high level

Wim Grootveld has been with the Compliance Office since 2023, where he mainly performs OKBs and IKOs and is compliance officer. Prior to this, he worked for over twenty years in auditing, both in the Netherlands and abroad. He lived in Aruba for five years, and from there he traveled across the Caribbean, Central, and South America as an external auditor. In the last three years, he served as a supervisor at the AFM. The common thread running through all his work is his drive for quality.

‘For me, quality is not an action but an attitude and a habit. I like to be proactively concerned with quality in our industry. My work at the Compliance Office provides me with those opportunities. I work with various accountants and accounting organizations to do the right thing together, to bring and maintain quality at a high level. This dynamic appeals to me. I do a lot of work in the context of fraud, corruption, and money laundering. I also dealt with these issues regularly as a supervisor at the AFM.’
