Key Success Stories
Capital Market Readiness
Our team assisted the client on meeting the financial reporting requirements i.e. pro-forma financial statements, analyzing the capital/debt structures, technical accounting and reporting nuances, reviewing business plan assumptions to confirm compliance with IFRS and identifying the impact of IFRS 9, 15 and 16
Asset Monetization Strategy
The firm’s client, an oil and gas giant, wanted to transfer certain pipeline assets into the newly created subsidiary as part of its asset monetization strategy.
The client intended to sell a 40% stake in its subsidiary to an external investor. The client requested KPMG assist with this proposed transaction.
Our team designed the transaction structure (introduction of dividend blockers/variability in returns, etc.) and suggested other financial reporting issues consequential to the proposed transaction structure.
With our support, the client was successful in implementing a proposed asset monetization strategy by securing external investment of approximately USD 10 billion.
