As an audit and advisory firm, BDO has unmatched experience in serving publicly traded companies in Poland.
Ever since 2000, BDO has been a top ranked firm providing audit services to publicly traded companies, for example as listed by the Rzeczpospolita daily.
Our position results from nearly 18 years of experience in advising publicly traded companies and highly extensive experience in IPOs on the Polish market.
A chartered auditor’s role is especially crucial for companies that prepare for listing in order to gain capital for further growth. We pride ourselves at our vast experience, spanning almost two decades, in preparing companies for their initial public offering. Our services include verification of historical financial data, auditing pro-forma statements and verifying the correctness of financial forecasts. We also participate in preparing prospectuses and advise our clients on ongoing liaisons with the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF).
As auditors, we feel particularly responsible for our services from the point of view of the shareholders of the audited companies, since, in a sense, we are working on their behalf. We attach particular importance to active cooperation and relations with Supervisory Boards and Audit Committees with regard to the assessment of risks associated with the audited companies and the adequacy of internal control systems implemented in order to minimize those risks.
We also support our clients during changes that occur in their organizations, structures or capital groups. Apart from servicing publicly traded companies, the Audit Department specializes in merger, acquisition, division and restructuring transactions. Our services include developing accounting standards to apply during mergers and divisions, transforming financial statements, determining the accounting results of transactions, as well as auditing merger, acquisition and restructuring plans. We also provide due diligence services to clients interested in acquiring another business. Our expertise with regard to the reporting of companies from various industries is invaluable.
Businesses appreciate our services related to designing and documenting accounting systems and processes (for example those supporting European Union programs), transforming financial statements from Polish to international accounting standards and advice on resolving specific reporting and accounting issues (e.g. financial instruments). Our clients include manufacturing, trade and service entities, including financial institutions. During our work, we can adhere to both Polish and international accounting standards.
