IFRS Conversion Services

KPMG brings together the best of our existing audit, advisory and tax professionals to help clients understand and respond to the changes in accounting standards which are currently impacting:

• First time adopters, currently converting to IFRS
• Existing IFRS preparers currently considering the proposed changes to the standards
