Deals structuring and Accounting

Our dedicated experts advise on attaining an optimal deal structure and evaluate accounting implications of these transactions. The team provides solutions to support a broad range of transactions, including acquisitions, divestments, IPOs, PPP agreements, group reorganisations, financial restructurings and strategic alliances.

The team reviews in detail, the specific transaction objectives to be achieved. These are balanced with the relevant accounting, regulatory and commercial considerations to provide you with the optimal deal structure.

Impact assessment and IFRS transition plan

A number of new accounting standards have become effective (IFRS 9, IFRS 15), others will become effective soon (IFRS 16 and IFRS 17). Leading companies are proactively preparing for the change via an impact assessment and a transition plan to ensure optimal adoption. We summarise the five top benefits of acting now as follows:

You can ensure no surprises. Knowledge is power
Gives you time to manage key stakeholders including investors, analysts and regulators.
There’s time to review the impact on KPI’s both at the entity level and various management levels.
You can manage the outcomes upfront to give you a desired accounting impact.
Helps you achieve a seamless adoption with minimal disruption to operations.

As part of helping with the implementation of these new accounting standards, we provide trainings to leading companies across industries by working with them to develop training materials specific to their needs.
