A DARLINGTON accountancy practice established in 1939 has a new name.

From now on, LSCP LLP will be known as Eura Audit UK.

The company is the largest UK member of Eura Audit International, a network of more than 150 independent accountancy firms.

The decision to adopt the identity of Eura Audit UK was taken to mark the role that LSCP LLP has played within the Eura Audit organisation in this country.

Barrie Price, the chairman of Eura Audit UK, said: "The decision to change our name reflects our company vision and goals for moving the business forward, enabling us to compete at all levels and offer every client the benefit of both local, national and international knowledge."

He added: "The individual approach and commitment to personal service for which we are renowned will continue to be the main focus for Eura Audit UK."
