Restatements

Turn crisis into opportunity - pivoting your organization towards a stronger future


What impacts should companies consider?

Restatements can be drawn out and expensive processes may require management to communicate with many different stakeholders, including the board of directors, auditors, regulators and shareholders.

Management may not have deep in-house technical resources in certain areas of accounting (e.g., derivatives, hedging and consolidation).
