Advisory providing financial, tax and operational assurance amid global supply chains, manufacturing costs and the evolving mobility ecosystem.
Industry risks
Key areas of risk
We assess tax, audit, social security and operational compliance in the context of your industry.
Supply chain disruptions
Parts procurement, logistics costs, exchange-rate fluctuations, global supply constraints and changes in OEM demand may directly affect production planning and profitability.
Cost accounting risk
Incorrect allocation of raw materials, labor, manufacturing overhead, scrap, warranty costs and capacity utilization may lead to inaccuracies in inventory valuation and product profitability analyses.
Customs and foreign trade risk
Errors in the treatment of imported parts, exports, origin, inward processing, free zones and customs valuation may result in additional taxes, penalties and operational delays.
Transfer pricing risk
Failure to apply the arm’s length principle to intragroup manufacturing, contract manufacturing, engineering services, distribution and cost-sharing transactions increases tax audit risk.
Electrification and investment transformation
Failure to properly model investment decisions in the transition to electric vehicles, batteries, software, connected vehicle technologies and new production lines may lead to financial resource losses.
Common needs
The needs businesses encounter
Cost and profitability analysis
Accurate costing structures should be established by product, customer, project, platform and production line to strengthen pricing and resource allocation decisions.
Tax and incentive advisory

Independent audit and financial reporting
An industry-focused audit approach is required to accurately report inventories, fixed assets, revenue, warranty provisions, foreign exchange differences and financial liabilities.
Customs and foreign trade compliance
Compliance procedures should be strengthened for origin, tariff classification, import duties, export documentation, inward processing and special customs regimes.
Sustainability and transformation advisory
Measurable roadmaps should be developed for carbon footprints, energy efficiency, supplier compliance, waste management and sustainable manufacturing investments.
