Our approach

What is global compliance and reporting?

At its most basic, global compliance and reporting is the process of ensuring your organisation is operating in compliance with local regulations and reporting requirements wherever it does business in the world. This includes accounting, tax compliance and legal compliance, as well as regulations related to employees, such as payroll and global mobility.

For multinational businesses, global compliance and reporting is a complex and resource-intensive endeavour. Every country has its own wide array of rules and regulations, which are often complex and constantly evolving. Delivering effective global compliance and reporting requires a blend of local knowledge, robust process, and coordinating technology.

What are the benefits of global compliance and reporting services?

As your business expands, so does the commitment required to effectively monitor global compliance. The right global compliance and reporting partner will help improve the accuracy and efficiency of reporting while providing you with confidence and visibility into your compliance.

A global compliance and reporting service provider will support you with a team of local experts coordinated through a single point of contact. They will help you embed a strong compliance and reporting process across your organisation.

Benefits of working with a global compliance and reporting partner include: local expertise in each of your markets, technology to centrally monitor compliance and consistently meet your reporting obligations worldwide, and counsel on how strong compliance can be used to drive business growth.

When should I consider a global compliance and reporting provider?

There are a number of reasons you might consider a global compliance and reporting provider. You may be looking to consolidate a selection of local partners into a single, simpler, global relationship. You may be going through a financial transformation, or be expanding internationally, leading to new obligations in multiple jurisdictions. Or you may simply feel that the additional external support will save you time, money and sleepless nights. Whatever your situation, we are here to talk it through with you.

Why Forvis Mazars

Caring, advisory relationship

We’re committed to a caring, advisory relationship and an easy, rewarding experience. We promise a single point of contact for all your global compliance needs. So, no need to chase people around the globe. Because of our international network model, we work as one, close-knit team across borders, meaning you get consistent quality worldwide, a well-connected team, rapid access to specialist expertise, and a coherent, integrated solution rather than a series of siloed services stitched together.

And we approach global compliance with a different mindset. Many see global compliance as just a check-list of obligations: a set of ever-growing constraints, risks and sanctions. Not us. We see global compliance and reporting as an opportunity to drive business value and enhance your reputation, all while protecting your organisation from harm.

Smart, empowered professionals

Our advisors take the initiative, they don’t just coordinate and execute. We believe global compliance and reporting is more than a large-scale process challenge. That’s why our client teams combine local practitioners from over 100 countries and territories with dedicated resources from our Compliance Centres of Excellence.

Our practitioners are committed, business-smart and agile. They go beyond straight reporting to offer counsel and identify opportunities. They are trained and experienced in a broad array of tax, accounting, legal and HR challenges, allowing them to resolve problems faster, deliver new levels of insight, and adapt to your ways of working.

A solution that's right for you

We provide the right blend of people, processes, and tools to fit your particular needs. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions for global compliance and reporting. We prioritise getting to know you, your organisation and your situation so we can design a solution that mirrors your geographic footprint, systems and ways of working.

We adopt the latest technology and tools so you can monitor and control activity from a single location anywhere in the world. And once up and running, our flexible and scalable resources enable you to react quickly to change: scaling up or down as needed.

Insights

Why global compliance is on the business agenda

Compliance has long been a cornerstone of good business practice. But it can still be viewed as an obligation to be met rather than a driver of value. That’s why we conducted a survey of how business leaders approach global compliance, including where they focus investment, the risks they anticipate and what they expect from ‘good compliance’.
