Restructuring

Reducing publication time frames, implementing IFRS, and installing new consolidation software packages are among the changes that many consolidation departments have had to deal with, in addition to the traditional account closing process.

In this context, key factors for successful account closing have been developed. In-depth knowledge of the various accounting standards in order to make appropriate restatements, flawless planning of this complex process, mobilising the right level of resources for a limited period of time, and anticipating significant and non-recurring issues of the relevant account closing process are all key points.

Experts who understand your concerns

Completing the consolidation required for account closing within the deadlines requires mobilising resources. This may be a frequent problem for your group if it is growing because it faces increasingly complex consolidation processes. This may also be the case if your group is more mature and does not wish to build up its in-house resources solely to meet the peak of activity peak associated with account closing.
It may therefore be preferable to rely on external resources to manage your consolidation process in a more optimal manner, particularly during the final phase.
