M&A Accounting

Acquisitions, mergers and disposals: We provide competent advice for all accounting-related questions

There are various reasons why it is becoming increasingly important for companies to ensure that complex transactions are properly handled in the balance sheet. Transactions carried out both during and after the acquisition have a significant impact on the accounting of the consolidated financial statements in different accounting systems, such as IFRS, US-GAAP or HGB. Determining corporate value is often a problem. International mergers and acquisitions are also on the rise, which means that legal and tax issues are becoming increasingly complex. PwC’s accounting advisory team can provide you with advice on accounting issues relating to transactions, from the planning phase through data preparation to the conclusion of the contract. We also offer services for the preparation of financial information. Our experts have extensive experience from a large number of transactions. Take advantage of our know-how for your success. Working together we will find the right answers to your questions.

Information is everything Be aware of the consequences for the balance sheet

We will guide you every step of the way and ensure that you are aware of the accounting consequences of planned transactions. You can make informed decisions with this knowledge. Acquisitions, mergers or disposals: we stand by you throughout the transaction process. If you involve us in advance of a planned company acquisition or disposals, we can assess and reduce your balance sheet risk.  Our team will also be happy to review your draft contract to identify and avoid balance sheet risks at an early stage. We will also be at your side during the integration process and ensure that you can exploit the potential arising from the merger in the best possible way. Our motto is: your deal is our deal. Working together, we will design the right deal for you, even in turbulent times.
