Corporate reporting advise

Technical judgement,
proof behind every answer.

When the answer is not obvious from the standard alone, we bring the technical judgement, interpretation and supporting rationale needed to reach a position you can use with confidence.

Book an intro call What we advise on

Overview

A technical specialist alongside your finance team, for as long as you need one.

Some reporting questions can be answered by referring to the standard. Others depend on the facts, the transaction, the wider reporting context and the judgement applied to them. W.consulting works alongside finance teams to resolve those less straightforward questions. We interpret the requirements, work through the implications and document the reasoning clearly, so you have a position that can be explained to auditors, boards and other stakeholders.

What an engagement can look like

  • A single question One specific judgement or technical query, considered and referenced.
  • A review An independent technical review of a position, paper or reporting treatment you have already prepared.
  • Cycle support Specialist support alongside your team through part or all of a reporting cycle.
  • A second opinion An independent view where you want additional assurance around a position already taken.
Every engagement starts with a short conversation

Service routes

Different questions. The same standard of technical judgement.

The right starting point depends on the issue in front of you. Our advisory work spans technical reporting, valuation and sustainability, with specialists brought in according to the question that needs to be resolved.

How we work

From question to confidence.

The scope may vary from one question to an entire reporting cycle, but the discipline behind the work remains the same.

    We clarify the question, the relevant facts, the deadline and what you need the final answer to enable.

  2. Apply judgement

    We work through the relevant requirements, consider the particular circumstances and document the technical reasoning behind the position.

  3. Make it usable

    You receive a clear, referenced position that can be understood, challenged where necessary and used in discussions with auditors, boards and stakeholders.

Common questions

How does an advisory engagement usually start?

With a short conversation. We will ask about the issue, the context, your timing and what you need from us. From there, we can recommend the most appropriate level of support and confirm the scope before work begins.

Do you take on one-off technical questions?

Yes. Not every issue requires a lengthy engagement. We can help with a single technical question, or second opinion, as well as provide ongoing support through a reporting cycle.

Will we know who is working on our engagement?

Yes. We believe direct access to the right expertise matters. You will know who is responsible for your work and who to speak to as the engagement progresses.

Can you work alongside our auditors?

Yes. We can help you prepare and document a position paper for discussion with your auditors and, where appropriate, participate in those discussions alongside your team. Our role is to make the technical reasoning clear and well supported.

Can you review work we have already prepared?

Yes. We can assess a proposed treatment, technical paper or set of financial statements, identify areas that may need further consideration and help strengthen the supporting rationale.

Do you work with organisations globally?

Yes. W.consulting has offices in South Africa, Mauritius and the United Kingdom and works with clients across Africa, Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific.
