      Our approach

      In this rapidly changing environment, every company faces challenges. A step in the wrong direction can sometimes have significant effects on corporate performance and company value. KPMG’s integrated team of specialists guides you through difficult times to deliver real results for your stakeholders.

      To overcome operational or financial challenges and improve performance, you need to quickly stabilise your cash and liquidity positions and take a realistic view of current options.

      We provide a seamless approach to stabilising under-performing companies by identifying opportunities for strategic, operational, organisational and financial change, and executing on them to achieve real results. We help establish solid ground for a turnaround by assessing your liquidity position and creating a stakeholder management plan.

      When a company is experiencing financial difficulties, stakeholders often look for additional information or resources to help rebuild their confidence. We help you understand the complex landscape of borrowers, lenders and shareholders, and manage stakeholder communications, so you stay in front of the issues and make the best decisions. We help you assess short-term liquidity requirements and consider actions to quickly preserve value and address potential risks to stability.

      When a company is in distress, the management team faces many competing challenges. We can help you assess the situation and, if necessary, assist you with developing a practical insolvency plan. Working with you and your stakeholders, we help you identify the path that will maximise available value.  We help you assess the impact and risks of various options, identify the right filing jurisdiction and prepare a detailed insolvency plan that optimises the stakeholder positions. We support you as you position your company for a return to health and a solid financial standing.
