Financial Reporting Advisory

Are you ready for the challenge? Here’s how Deloitte can help

The financial reporting challenge is driven by developments in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), with significant changes across many areas. The International Accounting Standards Board (‘the IASB”) has recently completed a number of projects on standards which relate to areas such as leasing, revenue recognition and financial instruments. Deloitte follows the development of new accounting standards in detail and forms professional views of their effects on a variety of industries early on.

Deloitte’s Financial Reporting Advisory team can help your business with:

• The implementation of complex accounting standards such as:
   - IFRS 9/ASC 326 – Financial Instruments;
   - IFRS 15/ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers; and
   - IFRS 16/ASC 842 - Leases; and 
   - IFRS 17 - Insurance contracts

Deloitte’s Financial Reporting Advisory team provides support to clients in the planning and throughout the adoption of these complex new accounting standards.

• On-call advisory services 
• GAAP conversions between different accounting frameworks such as IFRS, FRS 101 and FRS 102.
• Deloitte’s Financial Reporting Advisory team provides support in selection of appropriate GAAP, guidance on accounting policies & related disclosures and preparation of the first set of new GAAP financial statements.
• US GAAP accounting advisory services
  
  Deloitte’s Financial Reporting Advisory team will assist in identifying the key differences between US GAAP and IFRS or local GAAP. We can perform an analysis where subsidiaries of US entities are accounted for under a different framework.
• Complex areas such as revenue recognition, consolidations, accounting for joint ventures, complex financial instruments and developing new or tailoring existing accounting policies.
• Accounting for complex financial instruments such as hedge accounting and impairment analysis.
• Acquisition accounting and group restructuring
• Guidance on distributable reserves including maximisation of dividends/cash extraction
• Tax accounting support in interpreting relevant accounting standards
