Regulatory Reporting

 

Annex IV and FATCA reporting

 

Regulatory reporting is an ever-evolving area that can demand a lot from businesses to comply, particularly from those who are new to the regulated environment.

Depending on your unique reporting needs, we offer high-level to detailed reporting and compliance services, streamlining our operations using technologies that make your required information readily accessible via our secure portal.

Our accounting teams have extensive knowledge of local tax and accounting standards - including IFRS / IAS, US GAAP, UK GAAP, and any other GAAP - and of accounts conversions and consolidations.

We also have expertise in navigating the complexity of Annex IV reporting, especially for firms that market across multiple jurisdictions throughout the EEA which requires submission of different reports to each relevant member country.

The depth of our expertise allows for swift turnarounds for management reporting and investor statements, giving you the ability to meet tight regulatory and investor reporting deadlines.

 

How we help

 

Our accredited industry experts also have multi-jurisdictional reach, helping you to stay in control of the differing local and regulatory requirements that can cause issues in multinational operations.

We can liaise with auditors and provide a data room for auditor access to help ease the administrative burden involved in the audit process.

We can help Alternative Investment Fund Managers (AIFMs) looking to market into new territories to deliver Annex IV reporting on time wherever they operate.

Regulators’ requirements across the world demand returns in a variety of formats – our teams are au fait with each format and can ensure that files are correctly validated and submitted.
