Specific nature of restructuring proceedings rests in the fact that their consequences affect not merely a part of the company’s assets, as it is the case with standard transactions, but they refer to all asset constituents. That is why it is so important that the restructuring process is tailored to a certain situation. At the same time, these are exceptional cases when the company has know-how permitting it to rectify a crisis situation.

The scope of services offered by KPMG covers:

Correct settlement of such transactions poses significant difficulties to accounting and tax departments, while the accounts of entities that undergo restructuring are thoroughly analysed by the tax authorities
