Our main lines of Service… Audit & Tax
Audit & Assurance
As audit and assurance market leaders, we provide services that improve corporate reporting and assurance systems that
operate effectively within a well-controlled environment. Not only does your audit help assure compliance with
applicable reporting standards, there are important by-products of the audit process such as the identification of
internal management issues and important insights that can help you address both present and future challenges.
We approach your audit with a deep and broad understanding of your business, the industry in which you operate, and
the latest regulatory standards. We consider the risks your company faces, the way management controls these risks and
the transparency of your company's reporting to stakeholders.
Our thorough understanding of the regulatory framework and legislation means we can help with complex business
requirements, such as Sarbanes-Oxley and IFRS.
Tax
Our network of experienced professionals can assist you in achieving your goals across a wide spectrum of tax and
accounting activities and helps you deal with the rapidly increasing complexity of the Greek tax environment.
Clients engage us because we combine a strong understanding of their business and economic environments with
specialist tax knowledge in hundreds of national and local jurisdictions across the globe. Understanding the
complexities, we help companies to: identify and reduce tax risks; understand and meet their compliance obligations;
implement tax strategies that complement their business and operational objectives; resolve disagreements with tax
authorities when they arise; and manage tax accounting and reporting issues.
Our services include international tax planning and restructuring, mergers & acquisitions, consulting on indirect taxes
and transfer pricing and tax compliance services.
