Corporate
Transforming organizations, whether by taking a private company public or through strategic initiatives, requires well developed project and organization management capabilities combined with the right network connections to accelerate value capture, by quickly identifying opportunities and matching them with the necessary resources or partners.
For example, consider the transformation of a private to a public company. The company will be subject to greater scrutiny and regulatory reporting requirements which will require substantial effort to maintain. We can support our clients in this transition by assessing the sufficiency of: (1) accounting and reporting policies, processes and accounting systems; (2) finance and tax staff; (3) financial statements and disclosures; and (4) internal control environment.
Another transformation example to consider is the spinning off a strategic business unit to create a new operating subsidiary. In a situation like this there are numerous challenges faced by management, such as conflicting stakeholder interests, employee anxiety, regulatory compliance, and maximizing the impact to shareholders’ value.
