Accounting Advisory

Companies need accounting providing comfort around technical accounting requirements related to specific activities or transactions, such as a merger or acquisition, a corporate restructure or refinancing exercise, or a cash extraction from the business, to help prepare in-house documentation and giving formal accounting opinions. This includes working in an expert capacity to provide an all-important accounting perspective on the transaction from the very start of the process. We also provide post-transaction support to help move from a transaction environment to a business-as-usual one, providing expert input into acquisition accounting, alignment of accounting policies, preparing the client’s finance team, from supporting the finance function, post the transaction being completed.

Companies may need to change their accounting policies, or need help with the implementation of new accounting standards, for example those on insurance contracts (IFRS 17), financial instruments (IFRS 9), revenue (IFRS 15) or leases (IFRS 16).
