Expert-led support for seamless transitions to new accounting frameworks across Ind AS, IFRS, and US GAAP.

Frequently Asked Questions

GAAP conversion is the process of transitioning financial statements from one accounting framework to another. It is typically required when a company crosses regulatory thresholds, prepares for a listing, attracts foreign investment, or undergoes a cross-border transaction.

Ind AS is India's converged framework, substantially aligned with IFRS but with certain carve-outs suited to the Indian regulatory context. Differences in financial instruments, revenue recognition, and lease accounting require careful analysis during any conversion.

Timelines vary by organisational size and complexity. A structured conversion typically spans several months, covering impact assessment, policy alignment, system changes, parallel reporting, and post-implementation review.

IFRS 17 is the international standard for insurance contracts, replacing IFRS 4. It applies to life and general insurance companies reporting under IFRS and requires significant changes to actuarial models, data systems, and financial reporting processes.

We provide end-to-end advisory covering impact assessment, revised presentation requirements, management-defined performance measures, and coordination with auditors for compliant and timely adoption.
