Transaction Accounting Advisory to Streamline Post-Acquisition Financial and Regulatory Reporting
One of the largest banks by assets and among the top ten globally by market capitalization, it acquired one of the leading housing finance companies. Through its subsidiaries, it also operated across life insurance, general insurance, asset management, private equity, and student loan financing.
The business situation
- The bank acquired the housing finance company and its subsidiaries
- The bank is listed on the USA and other exchanges. Post-merger, the subsidiaries of the housing finance company were required to:
- Submit interim and annual local GAAP financial information for the bank’s reporting requirements; Compliance with regulatory reporting requirements
- Submit semi-annual and annual US GAAP financial information for the bank’s US GAAP reporting requirements
- Standardization of processes and controls for compliance with the principles of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, 2002
- Multiple reporting requirements, complexity of reporting, stringent timelines, and limited team bandwidth required the bank to seek external support to ensure it adhered to the statutory and regulatory reporting requirements
Our team’s role
