Since the approval of the stable platform of the New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS), the pace of technical accounting change has become profound. Our technical team provides up-to-date advice on the latest technical accounting issues that affect organisations. As well as education and dissemination of information, the team provides leading edge technical accounting opinions, technical assistance in complex accounting areas, review of financial statements to ensure good presentation and compliance with GAAP (both under NZ IFRS and previous NZ GAAP), and litigation support on technical accounting matters.

This dedicated resource ensures that our people and our clients are well informed of, and able to confidently manage, any changes to financial reporting standards. The team also has experience with migration financial reporting, and researching options for businesses going offshore to guarantee their reporting complies with the regulations of the new jurisdiction.

Our team is part of the Deloitte global network which links six centres of excellence in accounting – a vital connection given the globalisation of accounting.
