How we can help you be great

Audit and Assurance

We’ll help you prepare for audits by preparing financial reports under A-IFRS and other reporting regimes, performing risk assessments and establishing risk management processes.

We’ll also identify critical ASIC or other regulator ‘hot topics’ and help your team deal with whatever might be required.

Business Consulting

Our business consultants provide specialist advice on mergers and acquisitions, financial reporting, company secretarial appointments and corporate governance.

We offer audit committee support – or we can help simply by providing management with a second opinion.

It’s vital to get public disclosure documents right and Nexia Edwards Marshall can assist there, too. We can offer technical advice and monitor its effect and provide financial statement pro forma.

Capital raising

Nexia Edwards Marshall specialists can be an expert addition to your due diligence committee when you’re preparing to raise capital.

Forensic Accounting

Our forensic accountants have valuable expertise in the resources sector. Several team members have been involved as investigators and providers of expert opinions following the collapse of major Australian resources enterprises.

We’ve also been involved with investigations into the alleged fraudulent behaviour of executives and provided an expert opinion on the quantum of earn-out payments relating to the sale of a mining services business.

Initial Public Offerings

Initial Public Offerings (IPO) can be daunting and you need the right team behind you to maximise the results.

Through our Nexia affiliation, Nexia Edwards Marshall can assist with all of the following:

• setting up the IPO team

• board structure and recruitment
• capital structure and asset valuation
