Consulting & Advisory

Every business event has accounting consequences. With thousands of pages of accounting rules, though, it takes experts to identify the right way to record a particular transaction in the financial statements.

Mind the GAAP coaches companies through the maze of accounting literature, helping develop position papers to support the conclusions reached. Mind the GAAP also provides input on potential accounting issues before companies finalize a proposed agreement or contract.

Here are just a few of the many issues we have helped our clients address:

Determining when and how much revenue to recognize from a multiple element arrangement
Accounting for restructuring activities such as plant closures and employee severance arrangements
Reviewing hedge documentation for compliance with FASB ASC Topic 815 (FAS 133) and other interpretive guidance
Determining whether a legal entity meets the definition of a variable interest entity
Identifying lease arrangements that would qualify as finance leases under IFRS but operating leases under U.S. GAAP
Accounting for modifications of share-based payment awards
Determining the accounting for renewable energy credits issued by governmental agencies
Analyzing whether a divestiture meets the requirements to be presented as a discontinued operation

We offer our consulting and advisory services to all levels of an organization, from Directors and Audit Committee members to business unit controllers and their respective staffs.
