Legal Assurance Engagements




As statutory auditors, we support companies at key moments in their business lifecycle. From legally required audits to complex valuations and international assignments, we provide independent analysis, transparent reporting and reliable insights.

Our expertise spans both corporate law and transactions, disputes and international structures. With in-depth regulatory knowledge and a sharp financial perspective, we help you make important business decisions with confidence.

Corporate law assignments

These assignments are legally anchored and crucial for the structure and lifecycle of your company.

Dissolution and liquidation

Thorough review of the statement of assets and liabilities upon the dissolution of your company.

Contribution in kind & quasi-contribution

Valuation of assets contributed at incorporation, capital increase or acquisition from shareholders. The statutory auditor prepares a report examining the description of each contribution in kind, the valuation applied and the valuation methods used.

Conversion of legal form

When your company grows or changes strategy, we review the reporting relating to the change of legal form (e.g. from BV to NV) to confirm that the net assets are not overstated.

Mergers and demergers

Independent assessment and reporting when entities are merged or split.
