Financial Auditing
Independent financial due diligence and audit support aligned with Iranian Accounting Standards and IFRS.
Iranian companies report under Iranian Accounting Standards, which differ in important ways from IFRS — particularly around inflation accounting, foreign-currency translation, and related-party disclosures. Our financial team rebuilds the target's numbers into a format your board and lenders can read, and flags the adjustments that matter for valuation.
