MAKING FINANCIAL NARRATIVES UNDERSTANDABLE AND HONEST
We write and advise on Management Discussion & Analysis sections, internal memos, and evaluative reports — providing a clear, structured lens on operations, liquidity, uncertainty, and performance.
Our work bridges finance, structure, and narrative: translating complex data into insight that is both accurate and intelligible to regulators, boards, and investors.
BOARD DISCUSSION
The MD&A is unaudited, but it is one of the most influential components of a company’s financial communication. It explains how the business performed over the reporting period, why performance unfolded the way it did, and how management views the risks and opportunities ahead. A well-constructed MD&A:
– links operational events to financial outcomes
– highlights significant trends, opportunities, and uncertainties
– explains liquidity, capital resources, and cash flow dynamics
– outlines management’s expectations, strategies, and risk posture
– aligns with ESMA, IFRS, and market-communication expectations
We help ensure that this narrative is coherent, balanced, compliant, and aligned with the company’s true economic reality.
INTERNAL AUDITS
Internal audits provide an independent assessment of how an entity operates — its controls, its processes, and the reliability of its reporting. The objective is not only accuracy but operational truth. Effective internal audits should:
– present a fair view of financial position and performance
– review reporting methodology and risk-sensitive areas
– evaluate the design and effectiveness of internal controls
– identify operational vulnerabilities and structural inconsistencies
– incorporate ESMA and IFRS guidance when relevant
– maintain independence while deeply understanding the business and its idiosyncrasies
Our role is to bridge the technical, the structural, and the human dimensions of an audit — ensuring the final evaluation reflects the actual system, not just its formal documentation.
