Assistance on capital market transactions
PwC can provide expert advice to companies that want to raise debt or equity capital in international capital markets. Our services range from assistance in selecting the right capital market and establishing the right team of advisers, to advising on compliance with national regulations and listing rules, to preparing a business to operate as a public company. Our advice is tailored according to the size and nature of your company.
Financial accounting
PwC has the knowledge and expertise necessary to help you with complex financial accounting issues. If you are not already an audit client, we can provide services such as valuations, pensions and share plans, listings, and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) advice. To improve your financial accounting and keep you abreast of new developments in corporate reporting, our experienced professionals will provide you with a combination of technical advice, support tools and training of in-house accounting staff.
Independent controls & process assurance
For organizations that require an independent evaluation of their business processes and related controls, PwC provides: overall evaluation of management controls; assurance on business processes, systems, data and technology management; risk management solutions; and traditional third-party assurance. Our services enable you to gain comfort that your systems, processes and risk management procedures are operating effectively and within a well-controlled environment.
IFRS readiness & conversions
Because the transition to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) can affect a business in numerous and unforeseen ways, our IFRS conversion teams combine a range of technical, training, communications, change management, and industry expertise. Our proprietary Transition IFRS methodology ensures that we identify and solve financial reporting issues as they arise, and focus on transferring lasting knowledge of IFRS to our clients.
Non-financial performance & reporting
PwC can help your business become more transparent by reporting the information that matters most to stakeholders—including disclosures related to important non-financial value drivers such as market opportunities, risks, and intangible assets. Our ValueReporting methodology is the most comprehensive approach available in the marketplace for the disclosure of non-financial corporate information.
Regulatory compliance
Our team of experienced regulatory risk specialists—including many former regulators— will provide support advice and assurance to help you manage your regulatory risks. We can help minimize the costs and disruptions associated with regulatory compliance and maximize the competitive and strategic opportunities resulting from regulatory change.
Sarbanes-Oxley readiness
PwC provides a range of services to help Securities & Exchange Commission-registered organizations—whether subsidiaries of US domestic registrants or foreign private issuers—achieve compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. If you are not already an audit client, our advisory services include project management, technical and documentation support; risk assessment; solution design and implementation; change management and training; and quality assurance and review.
