Advice on financial reporting and financial reporting standards

There are different reasons why the Board of Directors has to deal with the individual accounting standards. For example, shareholders who demand a financial statement according to a recognised standard, in addition to the annual financial statement, or the desire for increased transparency in general.

We will be pleased to show you the possibilities offered with the choice of suitable accounting standards for your individual financial statement or your consolidated accounts (such as Kern-FER, Swiss GAAP FER, IFRS) and inform you about the advantages and disadvantages of individual accounting standards as well as the expected conversion effort involved.
