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

      • on-call for complex technical accounting queries
      • accounting transaction support (such as merger, acquisitions and divestitures activity)
      • accounting framework changes (such as converting from New Zealand differential reporting or old GAAP to New Zealand equivalent to International Financial Reporting Standards or Public Benefit Entity International Public Sector Accounting Standards)
      • navigating new and amended financial reporting standards
      • initial public offerings reporting

      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.
