Outcome of audit tender process

24 January 2025 - Experian plc, the global data and technology company, announces that, following the conclusion of a formal competitive audit tender process, the Board has approved the re-appointment of KPMG LLP (KPMG) as its external auditor to take effect from, and including, the financial year ending 31 March 2027.

The comprehensive audit tender process followed the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) Minimum Standard, considered both large and challenger audit firms and was led by the Audit Committee. In line with applicable UK legislation*, we tender our audit every 10 years and rotate every 20 years. We disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report & Accounts that a tender process would be conducted, given KPMG was initially appointed in 2016.

Further details of the audit tender process will be included in our 2025 Annual Report & Accounts. This appointment is subject to shareholder approval at the Company's 2026 Annual General Meeting.
