Case study one
Sector: Retail
Company profile: Large high profile private company
Background
The client wanted verification of the front end of its annual report. This was to reduce risk of errors, non-compliance and misstatements in a potentially litigious situation and to reassure the board that evidence was available to validate the report’s content. Board.
How we assisted our client
The Front end technical team worked in a project team with the Sustainability and Risk teams to identify the key metrics and statements to ensure an effective and robust verification process. Areas verified included financial performance, remuneration, sustainability, governance and risk.
We rapidly built relationships with relevant teams at the client to manage information flow and managed these through the process to verify information, avoid duplicated requests and assess existing control structures. The output to the client identified errors, unsupported statements, duplication and inconsistency and followed rectification of these through to the final draft.
Case study two
Background
The client was moving from private company to listed status and needed to develop systems to produce an annual report to comply with listing rules, Companies Act requirements and to support its investment case.
How we assisted our client
We worked with the company’s management to develop appropriate structures to manage the production of the report. We identified the gaps in the company’s existing report and worked with other advisers to reach good practice in reporting for the listing process and helped the company to produce a draft annual report in line with good practice in investor relations.
