Financial reporting advisory

The world of financial reporting is continually changing and growing ever more complex.

Mazars’ specialist Financial Reporting Advisory team helps companies interpret and apply International Financial Reporting Standards, UK GAAP and US GAAP through flexible and tailored support.

Our team has strong technical expertise in a wide variety of challenging financial and narrative reporting matters and provides accounting advice on both small and large projects.

As well as interpretation and application advice on financial reporting standards, we also advise on:

  • Accounting for financial instruments and optimal hedging structures
  • Accounting for business combinations under IFRS 3, including intangible asset valuations and impairment reviews
  • Accounting for share option schemes under FRS 20 and IFRS 2, including share option valuations using a binomial model
  • Narrative reporting

Our team also has access to experienced technical trainers who provide tailored courses to guide finance teams through the complexities of accounting requirements under either IFRS or UK GAAP.

As a firm we pride ourselves on technical excellence. Our clients have direct access to our experts through our Financial Reporting Advisory team. Use the menu on the left to learn more about our services.

International Financial Reporting Standards

Although most listed and AIM companies have now made the transition to reporting in accordance with IFRS, companies still face the challenge of ongoing compliance and the implementation of new standards, amendments and interpretations.

Future of financial reporting and IFRS for SMEs

The future of financial reporting and accounting in the UK and the Republic of Ireland will be fundamentally changing under the proposals laid out by the Accounting Standards Board (ASB).

Accounting and financial reporting advice

With increases in the complexity of accounting standards and the attention of regulators, many companies encounter accounting problems arising from new standards, growth and changes in structure.

Valuations

There is an increasing need for valuations to be carried out as part of the process for determining the fair value of assets and liabilities in companies’ financial statements, particularly relating to business combinations and the issuing of share options to employees.

Training and seminars

Financial reporting continues to become more complex, both under IFRS and UK GAAP, and it's a trend that doesn’t look likely to reverse.

Narrative reporting

In addition to the financial statements, the amount and importance of information in other parts of the annual report has grown substantially in recent years.
