LISTING SUPPORT

If you think that a potential listing is in your company’s future, get ahead of the curve by making sure your business is ready for the Financial Position and Prospects Procedures (FPPP) requirements. Or if you simply want to better combat fraud and enhance the quality of corporate reporting and governance, allow our experts to guide you through best practice controls and documentation.

Our team has significant experience in not only aiding companies on their roadmap to listing but also in compliance with US SOX reporting and internal audit. We can make sure your control environment is right for your company.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE

Whilst the future of corporate governance requirements are still unknown in the UK, it is clear the government expects companies to improve their internal audit, risk and corporate governance functions meaning it is never too early to ensure your control function is fit for purpose.

Improving your internal controls environment has significant benefits for your organisation from combating fraud to enhancing the quality of corporate reporting and governance. Beyond compliance, it creates a controls-focused culture with insight and operational benefits to support better decision-making and protect shareholder value.

SYSTEMS IMPLEMENTATION

Have you recently implemented new accounting software or other new systems or tools? Have your processes and your system documentation been updated to reflect these changes? Often these changes aren’t reflected in documentation until your auditor requests them or staffing changes occur in your organisation.

Our specialist team of finance systems experts make sure that your system is implemented correctly, on-time and to suit your needs. We’ll also make sure that it is well documented and easy to follow making your audits efficient and staffing transition effortless.
