Groupe Audit Serval & Associés, was founded by Jean-François Serval, former president of the audit firm Constantin, which he created in 1971 with a few partners. Quickly becoming an international reference for the quality of its services, Constantin sold its French activity in 2008 to a large local firm. The new entity Groupe Audit Serval & Associés has built the firm’s activity in France and Europe, strengthened Constantin’s presence in the United States and has firmly established itself in Asia.
Groupe Audit Serval & Associés is an independent organization specializing in auditing and accounting, whose integrated network is recognized for the technical performance of its international teams. Member of the Forum of Firms, the firm offers a complete range of services and expertise aimed at mastering financial information.

Groupe Audit, the head office of the Groupe Audit Serval & Associés network, is based in Paris/La Défense. It coordinates the group and its subsidiaries:
In France: Amperex (Paris), CGEC (Paris) and Fidurévision - Serval & Associés, (Mulhouse).
Created in 1945, the firm Amperex operates in 3 business areas: accounting, social management and auditing, serving a customer base of VSEs, SMEs and ETIs.
Throughout its years of practice, the firm has applied its know-how, driven by a culture of multidisciplinarity, advice and proximity to its clients, which are still its fundamental values.
In 2016, Amperex became part of the Fidurévisionis a chartered accountancy and auditing firm based in Didenheim, south of Mulhouse, and a key player in the Grand Est region.
In 2020, Fidurévision joined the Groupe Audit Serval & Associés networkThe new partnership will open up a new era of development for these entities within a firm with a prestigious history and an internationally-focused corporate culture.
This integration has created a group that is better placed to meet the new challenges of our time, in terms of evolving technologies, practices and customer needs in a fast-changing ecosystem.
The Cabinet de Gestion et d'Expertise Comptable (CGEC) was born in 1972 from the merger of 3 firms. After several decades of steady growth, CGEC joined Groupe Audit Serval & Associés in 2015. The complementary nature of the two entities was the driving force behind this integration, built on the values that CGEC has always promoted: proximity, availability and responsiveness.
With 85% of its business generated by chartered accountancy and corporate taxation focused on SMEs and ETIs, CGEC has naturally become part of the growth and diversification dynamic of Groupe Audit Serval & Associés, which is more particularly focused on auditing and supporting its clients internationally.
CGEC has expertise in both the service and industrial sectors, with a strong commitment to the mass retail sector, which accounts for 50% of its turnover.
Groupe Audit Serval & Associés has an international outlook and operates on 3 continents, with various sub-holdings acting as management centres for its activities on these 3 continents (see organisation chart):
- in Europe, Audit Group Belgium, Audit Group Luxembourg,
- in Asia, Audit Asia Group,
- in the United States, Constantin USA.
Beyond the unavoidable regulatory constraints, the technical level and security of the service are essential factors in building a name for auditing, whether for large SMEs, the private equity sector or special assignments.
The need for institutional recognition in each country is important, both for updating technical standards and for meeting the expectations of clients. The strength of Groupe Audit Serval & Associés lies in the wide range of issues it deals with.
and its technical capacity to meet them.
The member companies of the network are bound by contract. This contract commits these firms and all of their partners to technical reviews and governance processes on all aspects of their practice and behavior. An independent monitoring body is responsible for dealing with outstanding issues.
The organisation of Groupe Audit - Serval & Associés is also set up to ensure compliance with the code of ethics of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) and other major national codes of ethics and professional purchases. This organisation is transparent with the relevant authorities. At the same time, all the necessary processes are implemented to protect client data and privacy.
Serval & Associés is organized to comply with all Ethics rules and regulations through dedicated executives using specific global software. This involves measuring the risk of missions, the absence of conflict of interest and the quality of the work carried out. A compliance manager is responsible for the proper implementation of processes. Quality control is carried out with internal resources as well as external resources.
Jean-François Serval, a French CPA and British auditor, coordinates assignments with the head office and other American and international firms. Through its agencies and correspondents, the Groupe Audit - Serval & Associés network now covers the whole of Western Europe, North America and North Africa, enabling it to serve its clients internationally.
The network is organized so that member firms comply with professional guidelines (IFAC… and others), laws and regulations. It also exists to implement specific rules aimed at ensuring staff dedication, quality control as well as customer safety in the event that a difficulty arises on a mission. Processes are also put in place to guarantee the long-term coherence of the network as well as a sanction process if a partner does not respect the rules. The network also has governance from global bodies to implement its rules. Member Companies are those which have signed the network framework agreement contract dealing with the above subjects and objectives. Corresponding Firms are those which currently practice or work within the Constantin/Groupe Audit-Serval & Associés network without having signed the network framework agreement. Like Member Firms, they must comply with all professional rules and regulations applicable to missions as well as demonstrate the absence of conflicts and their independence. Neither status takes into account the existence or possibility of referencing commissions between firms. There is no system of profit sharing, either globally or by transfer.
