IFRS Reporting and Advisory

   Auditors independence issues appears to be more important over the last years when companies try themselves in stepped transition to IFRS reporting from ‘auditors made IFRS accounts’ to ‘company’s made IFRS accounts’.

    Historically IFRS accounts have been prepared in Ukraine by auditors while the companies' management have always been ultimately responsible for IFRS reporting. Thus, to avoid any ethical issues and conflicts of interests we offer and guide our clients through either to outsource IFRS reporting or to set up the IFRS reporting function.
