Accounting and Advisory Services
Full Spectrum of Accounting Services and Advisory Solutions for non-Audit Clients
For clients where MarcumAsia is not serving as the independent auditor, we provide a range of consulting services, including internal audit, financial reporting support, pre-audit, transaction accounting services, and internal control design and implementation.
MarcumAsia also assists management in designing and implementing comprehensive internal audit programs, including the right people, technology, and process design, to comply with domestic and international standards.
Financial Statement Preparation
Asian companies seeking to list in the U.S. often have difficulty attracting and training qualified personnel who are thoroughly knowledgeable about preparing financial statements to conform with U.S. GAAP or IFRS accounting standards and meet SEC disclosure requirements.
MarcumAsia can help supplement your team in preparing to raise capital, pursue a public listing, or make a significant acquisition. Our internal audit and pre-audit support services help to smooth the audit process, anticipate, and address questions and concerns of regulators, and train internal staff to sustain high-quality financial reporting practices on a go-forward basis.

Internal Controls
The transition from being a private company to being publicly listed requires management to dramatically step up their internal controls for financial reporting (ICFR.)
Identified internal control weaknesses can erode investors' confidence, significantly delay transactions, and attract the attention of regulators and short sellers to probe for additional weaknesses in reporting. Robust internal controls will improve the quality of data used to guide senior management decision-making and capital allocation and reduce the risk of fraud and misappropriation of company assets.
MarcumAsia's team can provide comprehensive outsourced support to get the proper systems in place, assess weaknesses, train internal staff, and devise remediation plans.
We also help U.S. companies with operating subsidiaries in Asia to achieve high-quality internal controls and standardized financial reporting.

Financial Due Diligence
MarcumAsia provides in-depth Asia financial due diligence services for financial and strategic investors evaluating investing in assets based in the PRC and elsewhere in Asia.
We also assist clients in evaluating potential Asian partners in the context of deals, including acquisitions, asset sales, joint ventures, licensing agreements, and bankruptcy proceedings.
Given the substantial differences and maturity of Asia’s legal and business environment, standard due diligence protocols used in developed markets are almost guaranteed to fail when applied to Chinese companies. As a result, even some highly experienced multinational corporations and institutional investors have made painful and expensive mistakes when investing in Asia.
Based on decades of experience, MarcumAsia has developed a range of traditional and non-traditional financial due diligence techniques that will help you understand the accurate operating results, financial condition, and ownership structure of Asian entities and assets. Our professional team can apply a strong background in forensic accounting techniques along with deep knowledge of local business practices and proprietary contacts in industry and government so our clients learn the truth behind the story.
