Citation Group completes successful acquisition of third certification business in Australia

Citation Group (formerly FCB Group) is thrilled to announce that it has successfully completed the acquisition of Citation Standards Pty Ltd (formerly PricewaterhouseCoopers Compliance Services Pty Ltd), a business standards and certification business unit of PricewaterhouseCoopers.

This exciting news is a major milestone for Citation Group in Australia, as the company celebrates its third acquisition in ISO and NDIS certification services, following the previous acquisitions of QMS Certification Services and Best Practice Certification. The acquisition solidifies Citation Certification’s position as the second largest provider of certification services in Australia.

Emily Parkis, Executive Manager at Citation Certification said, “Our business has reached some major achievements in the past few months, including rebranding our legacy brands to Citation Certification. Our latest accomplishment only motivates our team be better – a key value that we live and breathe every day at Citation Group.

“And while our business is growth-focused, we remain humbled by our sole purpose – our clients. We exist to guide our clients’ businesses towards continuous improvement and their own successes. We are looking forward to working with our new clients and six new staff members. I’m confident that our latest transaction will only have a positive impact on the businesses that already work with us.

“The team brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to Citation Certification, and I am proud to welcome them into our fold.”

Their approach to certification has been built on the foundation of a globally proven assurance framework and methodology, which is applied successfully in many different types of organisations and across multiple industries.

Our business was acquired by The Citation Group UK, a global compliance specialist, back in September 2021. Together we are proud to support over 120,000 happy clients by blending personalised service with smart software solutions across Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the UK. Since joining forces, we’ve been able to accelerate our growth and now offer a broader range of workplace compliance solutions, so our clients can unlock even more value, peace of mind and protection so they can get on with growing their businesses.
