KPMG's accounting advisory professionals work with clients to help them achieve compliance, advising on how they can 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 clients on a range of important matters with significant accounting ramifications, including:

• converting to International Financial Reporting Standards
• initial public offerings
• merger and acquisition activity
• cross-border transactions
• improving the speed and quality of financial reporting
• improvements in 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. We can help client organisations deal with the accounting considerations involved in new regulatory compliance initiatives, including new accounting standards or regulations.

We can also assist clients in fulfilling capital market expectations of reliable, transparent and detailed financial information. We advise on improving systems and processes to create an appropriate balance between performance, risk and control while delivering accurate and timely information to significant stakeholders.
