Corporate Reporting

Corporate Reporting

Corporate reporting provides a comprehensive picture of a company’s performance and position to external parties. It is a critical lever to access equity, debt and trade finance, and to establish relationships with customers, suppliers, and employees.

With more than a third of all financial transactions occurring across borders, many companies adopt IFRS as the global language for financial reporting. By experience, we know embracing new IFRS Standards does not come without cost or effort.

To deliver efficient, transparent and articulate financial and non-financial insights, finance managers need to change their reporting on consolidation processes and systems.

Our team provides you with the necessary support, skills, and perspective to navigate these challenges and deliver corporate reports that are transparent and insightful.

IFRS & GAAP

Many companies have different sets of financial statements. Some have local GAAP consolidated financials, but 80 to 90 percent of companies have IFRS or US GAAP financial statements..

Next to IFRS becoming mandatory for more and more companies, an increasing number of countries allow IFRS as a local standard.

Recent deadlines for IFRS 9, 15 and IFRS 16 on lease saw companies encountering significant problems. The rush to be compliant left room for cost savings and for improvement in processes, controls, and IT solutions.

The functional expertise of our consultants guarantees an efficient IFRS reporting process, including the implementation of all new IFRS standards.

Raising awareness in different communities that IFRS is much more than a finance & administration topic, they elevate the importance of compliant reporting throughout the company.
