Financial due diligence

Out of ordinary transactions and projects represent a big challenge for a group or a company. We combine a deep knowledge of the local market as well as a wide experience on multinational engagements with industry-leading consulting skills and methodologies that allows the performance of insightful analysis throughout the full-cycle sale/purchase process leading to great performance and cost efficiency for our clients.

Vendor assist, pre and post deal services and assistance

A comprehensive approach between business procedures and functions with their internal processes, the alignment of the accounting information, the definition of strategic and cost-efficient approaches are all key factors to the management of buy and sell operations or to the reorganisation of groups and firms.

Transition to IFRS or GAAP assistance

The transition to IAS / IFRS international accounting standards undoubtedly represents the future for most Italian companies to improve their international visibility. Furthermore, assistance in the change or adaptation of accounting standards for buy-side or vendor-side operations already completed or being finalized represents an element of efficiency and cost saving for international groups.

Implementation of new accounting principles and GAAP assistance

Assistance in the implementation of new accounting standards or the change or adaptation of accounting standards in the face of buy-side or vendor-side operations already concluded or being finalized represents an element of efficiency and cost saving for multinational groups.

Criminal Due Diligence

When important corporate and financial operations such as M&A, equity acquisitions and new branch opening take place, the new management team should evaluate their exposition to elements of criminal risks. Criminal compliance procedures ensure that all kinds of criminal liability, inherited or otherwise, are avoided during and after these operations.
