Tax, audit and compliance-focused advisory for public tenders, export controls, R&D, long-term project management and strategic supply chain processes.
Industry risks
Key areas of risk
We assess tax, audit, social security and operational compliance in the context of your industry.
Public procurement and contract compliance
Public procurement, defense projects, offset obligations, progress payments and contract amendments may give rise to tax, stamp duty, documentation and reporting risks.
In high-technology development projects, the scope, expenditures and documentation relating to R&D centers, technology development zones, investment incentives and public support must be properly managed.
Long-term project accounting
Cost accumulation, revenue recognition, warranty provisions, foreign exchange differences and percentage of completion affect financial reporting in multi-year engineering and manufacturing projects.
Strategic supply chain and confidentiality obligations
The use of subcontractors, procurement of critical components, information security, confidentiality and quality requirements increase the need for internal control and risk management.
Common needs
The needs businesses encounter
Project- and contract-based tax analysis
The VAT, withholding tax, stamp duty, customs and corporate income tax implications of tender, procurement, manufacturing, maintenance, technology transfer and service contracts should be assessed.
R&D and incentive management
Project scope, the nature of expenditures and documentation should be controlled when benefiting from R&D, design, technology development zone, investment incentive and public support schemes.
Customs, export and international tax advisory
Customs and international tax implications of imports, exports, licensing, technology transfers, overseas service procurement and intragroup transactions should be managed.
Independent audit and financial reporting
Reporting long-term project revenue, costs, provisions, assets and financing effects in accordance with applicable standards is critical for investors, lenders and public-sector stakeholders.
Internal control, risk and compliance framework
Control points and monitoring mechanisms should be established for procurement, project budgets, progress payments, quality, information security, subcontractors and reporting.
