Corporate reporting

Tell your story effectively and transparently to all your stakeholders.
Good reporting offers a window into the culture of the organisation. Recent years have seen a stronger emphasis placed on reporting quality, with tighter regulation and rising demands from stakeholders. Companies must work harder than ever to tell their story. From fast-growing start-ups to established multinationals, we work with companies to help them communicate clearly and effectively.

Corporate reporting technical updates

IFRS and UK GAAP reporters

Accounting advisory services

Companies face the ongoing, and ever-increasing, challenge of keeping up to date with the understanding, interpretation and implementation of new accounting requirements under UK GAAP and IFRS. However, accounting and financial reporting has become much more than just about compliance; it’s about transparency, being cohesive and striking the appropriate balance between being informative yet concise....

Narrative reporting

Pressure for greater transparency from shareholders, not only in the financial statements, but in explaining performance in detail and in more forward-looking areas like strategy and plans for the future is not new.

Accounting valuations

Fair value accounting continues to grow in significance in the accounting world and audit firms are demanding greater levels of sophistication and complexity in the valuation of many assets and liabilities, particularly in relation to business combinations and acquisitions.

Our approach

Demands for greater financial transparency and proof of organisational sustainability are coming from many sides, including regulators, investors, and other stakeholders. The result: today’s reports are expected to go beyond reporting financials and embrace strategy, quality of governance, remuneration schemes, and even the organisation’s impact on the environment, employees, society and other stakeholders.

This growing list of requirements has already placed a heavy burden on leadership teams and is likely to expand further. We have a strong track record helping our clients to meet, and exceed, the very latest corporate reporting standards.

We bring together a team of professionals combining financial reporting and accounting knowledge with non-financial reporting expertise to deliver a pragmatic business approach.
