Reporting accountant services

Our reporting accountant services

Appointed during a capital markets transaction, most commonly an IPO or listing, we operate as an independent professional to review a company’s historical and forward-looking financial information, covering its financial statements, accounting policies, internal controls and reporting processes. The aim is to make sure the information given to investors is correct, consistent and compliant. As the Reporting Accountant, we’re central to investor confidence and help to give market participants a clear view of the business in a variety of ways.

• Financial due diligence

  Our financial due diligence gives you, your Nomad and prospective investors an independent, in-depth understanding of your business. Because issues are identified early, you have time to address them before they can delay your listing.

• Accountants' reports and long or short form reports

  We prepare accountants' reports and long or short form reports that set out our independent findings. They are tailored to the reporting requirements of your chosen market and the needs of your advisers, and they give the Nomad and investors the assurance they need to move forward.

• Historical financial information

  We prepare, review and present your historical financial information so it meets the standards expected by the market. Investors then see a clear, consistent and credible track record.

• IFRS transition

  Where your listing requires it, we support your transition to IFRS. Your financial information is then presented on the right basis from the outset, which avoids late-stage rework.

• Working capital reports and Financial Position and Prospects (FPP) procedures

  Investors want to understand where your business is heading as well as where it has been. Our working capital reports and FPP procedures test your forward-looking financial information and the procedures behind it. This shows that your business is well-funded and well-run.

• Proforma financial information

  We review and report on proforma financial information so investors can clearly understand the financial effect of the transaction on your business.

• Consent and comfort letters

  We can help with the consent and comfort letters your advisers rely on. They give your Nomad and wider advisory team the formal assurance they need to support the listing.
