What HLB does

HLB Vneshaudit (АО «Эйч Эл Би Внешаудит») is a Russian audit and professional services firm headquartered in Moscow, founded in 1992 and operating under its current name since 2002 after joining — and subsequently leaving, in March 2022 — the HLB International network. The firm is 100% owned by General Director Olga Vyacheslavovna Mityanina and delivers six integrated service lines: audit and IFRS services, tax and legal consulting, corporate finance (M&A advisory, due diligence, valuation, restructuring, IPO preparation), GRC (governance, risk, compliance, internal audit, fraud investigation), management consulting, and CFO outsourcing.

Underlying delivery is based on Russian (RSBU), International (IFRS), and International Standards on Auditing (ISA), with internal quality controls compliant with ISQC 1. The firm reports mandatory disclosures to the Bank of Russia and Ministry of Finance and carries professional liability insurance of $480M aggregate / $40M annual coverage. It serves over 270 enterprise clients across oil & gas (Gazprom, Gazprom Neft), transport (Aeroflot, Russian Railways), energy (RusHydro), telecom (MTS), metals (Polymetal), media (RT International), healthcare, pharma, agriculture, and other verticals.

Revenue is generated via project-based professional service engagements with quoted fees, multi-year contracts, and a direct sales motion targeted at large Russian state-owned and private enterprises; no channel partners are used. Total revenue grew from 118.9M RUB in 2020 to 168.8M RUB in 2025, with audit services contributing ~81% of 2025 revenue (137.2M RUB) and related non-audit services the remaining ~19% (31.5M RUB). Recent regulatory activity includes multiple Bank of Russia and Federal Treasury prescriptions (2023–2025) and AML/CFT inspections, which the firm has addressed through remediation actions.
