How we’ve played a role in P2P’s business
RBK Advisory has assisted primarily with accounting for P2P Transport’s mergers and acquisitions, bringing together multiple accounting systems from business units all around Australia. We ensured all P2P Transport financial accounts were in order, and accurate for the presentation of financial statements to the auditors (Deloitte). As the initial step towards getting P2P listed on the ASX, three years of audited financial accounts were required for the Initial Public Offering. With very short notice, we worked closely (in consultation with the P2P Group CFO), to ensure all accounting, reporting and taxation compliance requirements were met in order to facilitate to listing of the P2P Group on the Australian Stock Exchange.
Most recently, RBK Advisory assisted with the preparation of the Half Yearly Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2017 for the P2P Transport Group, including complex accounting issues due to the multiple mergers and acquisitions requiring consideration of the appropriate ‘accounting acquirer’ and treatment for general purpose reporting purposes. What does that mean? Essentially, hard core financial reports 😉
We continue to assist P2P Transport with management consultation, financial accounts preparation, taxation and other compliance matters.
