Accounting consultancy

Some examples of these professional services include: implementation of accounting and administrative procedures, assisting clients with preparation of consolidated financial statements, internal audit support and activities. Moreover, we also provide assistance with the transition from Italian GAAP to International Accounting Standards (IAS/IFRS). This is an important area in light of recent regulatory changes that have made the introduction/adoption of International Accounting Standards (IAS/IFRS) obligatory for certain entities and optional for others. Some examples of the services we can offer are listed below:

• assistance with transition to IAS/IFRS and US GAAP for stand alone accounts and Group consolidated financial statements;
• administration and accounting organisation;
• analysis and assessment of procedures;
• royalties audit;
• audit of circulation figures for daily newspapers and periodicals (ADS);
• assistance with preparation of consolidated financial statements;
• design and definition of charts of accounts;
• support services for Internal Audit departments/teams;
• support and testing in relation to implementation of special laws on corporate governance e.g. Sarbanes-Oxley Act (Italian entities controlled by Group’s listed on the NYSE) or Law 231 (Italian entities that have dealings with the public sector).
