It is becoming increasingly difficult to assess transactions and their reporting consequences.
The challenges
The accounting effects of transactions such as acquisitions, divestitures, formation of joint ventures and special purpose vehicles (for instance for leases or factoring) and other forms of collaboration (joint R&D) are challenging. These influence reporting, future results and have an effect on significant indices such as control quantities such as EBITDA, return on sales, or return on capital employed.
However, any assessment of upcoming issues needs to be carried out before the transaction, as these issues may have impact on the transaction as a whole. A transaction’s impact on accounting should be clear before contracts are signed.
PwC Greece's solution
Our Accounting Advisory team advises companies throughout the transaction process. We bring a unique blend of transaction and accounting expertise that helps clients manage the deals process smoothly, compliantly and within the timelines.
