KPMG’s Accounting Advisory professionals work with our firms' clients to help them achieve compliance, advising on how they might organise their financial reporting processes and helping ensure that accounting operations match the objectives of the business. 

Our Accounting Advisory Services practice works with our firms’ clients on a range of important matters possessing significant accounting consequences, including:

• Converting to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
• Initial public offerings (IPOs)
• Merger and acquisition (M&A) activity
• Cross-border transactions
• Improving the speed and quality of financial reporting (Quality Close)
• Enhancing  the financial reporting process chain

When extraordinary circumstances create a need for temporary assistance, e.g. during M&A activity or restructuring, we are able to co-source scarce accounting and financial reporting resources.
