The Numbers Behind the Annual Report

2/10/2016

Annual reports are a big undertaking for many organizations. They involve a variety of departments and regularly are more than a statement on how the year shaped up financially. They also include information about special projects, staff and other aspects of an organization. While an organization's staff usually takes the lead on preparing the annual report, an accounting firm is often contracted to lend additional credibility to the financial statements within the report and prepare what is known as the "auditor's statement."

Not every business is required to put together an annual report as part of their financial statements, but if your organization is, you'll want a firm on your side experienced with understanding the nuances of this sometimes complex document.

The team at Invictus comes with a diverse background when it comes to preparing annual reports. From client-side to firm-side, we've seen and worked on all kinds of annual reports in industries ranging from public and private sectors, small businesses to large corporations and resource based organizations to real estate and property management firms. Because of that scope of experience, our team knows when to jump in and help put the report together, or when to provide the basic requirements.

Annual reports are generally prepared to coincide with annual general meetings. If you have an AGM and annual report coming up and want advice or want someone who can get involved immediately, let us know; our team would be pleased to lend a hand with one of the most important documents your organization produces.

Mergers and the Human Element

2/5/2016

​Commonly, we see organizations turn to mergers as a way to stay stronger, capitalize on knowledge and perhaps weather the storms ahead. Mergers and acquisitions can be excellent strategies, but the winners in the process will be those who pay close attention to people in addition to numbers and data.Business leaders can’t overlook the human element inherent in a merger.  Studies have shown that companies who come through a merger “very successfully” are those who have a strategy in place to retain their key talent, take time to marry-up corporate cultures and focus on aligning leadership practices and strategies. This is more than just communication, it’s about planning.

Just as the balance sheets are scrutinized, so too must be departments and people when considering a merger. Get to know the cultures of teams, departments and the overall business. Look for common ground and establish ways to make a big deal out of it. Don’t downplay the differences, but do consider which direction is best for the organization going forward. People are going to play a key role in making these changes happen and in order to have the most successful merger possible, those people need to be “on-board” and aware of the realities ahead.

​It may seem like an odd thing for an accounting firm to be centred on people, but if you get to know us at Invictus, you’ll understand that people are the key.
