Accounting complexities linked to your planned business transactions can be everywhere. Do you have the skills and resources to assess and optimise the financial reporting consequences of your transactions?
Accounting requirements under IFRS and US GAAP are increasingly complex, and it’s becoming more utterly difficult to assess the full financial reporting impact of certain transactions such as company acquisitions and divestitures, leases, (reverse) factoring, hedging, share-based payments, licensing arrangements, restructurings and joint ventures, just to name a few. The Belgian GAAP impact of such transactions and the link with taxation should also be carefully looked at.
Once contracts have been signed, it’s often too late to prevent potential negative consequences on your financial reporting, your future results and key performance indicators such as leverage ratios, EBIT, EBITDA, EVA, ROCE and other important arrangements such as debt covenants.
