The Sport Integrity Global Alliance (SIGA) is pleased to announce that APC Audit Tax Advisory Ltd has joined its worldwide coalition as a new member.
This development further strengthens SIGA’s relationship with the APC Group, following the membership of APC Compliance in March 2024. APC Audit Tax Advisory is now being considered as the first Accredited Body for delivering SIGA Independent Rating and Verification System (SIRVS) – the world’s only independent rating and certification system in the sports industry to assess sports organisations’ internal processes and practices in accordance with an international set of Universal Standards on Sport Integrity developed by SIGA. The new accreditation model will see SIGA implement SIRVS in new markets at a faster rate and will be a landmark step in advancing independent global rating and certification for international Sport.
With strong roots in Cyprus, APC Audit Tax Advisory Ltd also operates internationally, with a growing presence in North America and other regions. This partnership reflects both organisations’ commitment to SIGA’s global mission to advance integrity in Sport worldwide. From Europe to the Americas, Asia to Africa, SIGA and its members are driving forward an international reform agenda built on integrity, accountability, and transparency.
Emanuel Macedo de Medeiros, SIGA Co-Founder and Global CEO, said:
“At a time when sport urgently needs credibility and strong leadership, the admission of APC Audit Tax Advisory goes far beyond a new membership. It demonstrates that integrity is non-negotiable. Together – from Nicosia to New York and beyond – SIGA and APC are shaping a future where excellence and ethics stand side by side, and sport fulfils its promise as a force for good.”
Ioakim Thrasyvoulou, Director of APC Audit Tax Advisory Ltd, added:
“We are honoured to join SIGA’s global coalition and to stand with organisations committed to safeguarding sport. We share SIGA’s values and are especially proud to support the roll-out of SIRVS, a groundbreaking initiative that equips sports organisations with the tools to strengthen governance, enhance integrity, and build lasting trust. This collaboration is about driving meaningful cultural change across the sporting ecosystem and directly supporting SIGA’s mission to advance integrity in sport globally.”
