Financial Accounting
BCG has the knowledge and expertise necessary to help you with complex financial accounting issues related to matters such as valuations, pensions and share plans, listings, IFRS conversions, and corporate treasury and company secretarial functions. To improve your financial accounting and keep you abreast of new developments in corporate reporting, our experienced professionals will provide you with a combination of technical advice, support tools, and training of in-house accounting staff.

Non-Financial Performance & Reporting
BCG can help your business become more transparent by reporting the information that matters most to stakeholders --- including disclosures related to important non-financial value drivers such as market opportunities, risks, and intangible assets.

Internal Audit
BCG can assist organizations in improving their internal audit function. We do this in several ways: by measuring the effectiveness of existing internal audit processes and advising on the development of enhanced internal audit methodologies; providing full or partial internal audit outsourcing solutions; supporting the internal audit function with advanced software tools; and delivering tailored training programs for internal auditors.

Support developing an effective internal audit function
Boards' and organizations' stakeholders increasingly want to have a well-founded answer to the question: Are we under control? At the same time the increasing dynamics and complexity of organizations make risk consulting more difficult. The internal-audit function can play an important part in your company's risk consulting, as long as it is well-organized and well-equipped. Setting up an audit charter which clearly defines the tasks and responsibilities of your internal-audit function can be useful.

BCG Internal Audit Services helps you improve the effectiveness and important value of your internal audit function. We offer various services, training and audit methods which target these goals. You can also outsource your full internal-audit function to BCG (internal audit outsourcing).

Composing Annual Accounts
From financial administration to management information
Every organization needs good management information. Our accountants guide you in setting up an effective and efficient management information system. We compose the annual account in a transparent way which fulfills the report demands of the various interested parties.

We believe the role of the accountant is not restricted to the composing of the 'figures' but reaches out to guide the company. During the guidance of your administration and producing the annual statement of accounts we gather valuable information about your corporate processes. On the basis of this information we can advise you on potential improvements for the internal control of these processes.

Organize my financial reports in an efficient and effective way
As an independent accountant BCG can contribute in an important way to the organization of your financial reports. We have extensive experience as a financial service provider in drawing up financial accounts and in supervising this process.

We can advise you on how your financial reports can be organized in a more efficient and effective manner. As a result you will have clear reports that provide insight and that meet the demands of the various stakeholders.
