Associations

If you are a president or treasurer of an association, foundation or union, you are subject to financial transparency and efficiency rules that are becoming more like those imposed on SMEs. BDO’s sector specialists offer a wide skill set—including financial, accounting, managerial, and administrative skills—in order to plan for and meet these challenges.

Pharmaceuticals

Many businesses in the life sciences sector are considering mergers or acquisitions and collaboration arrangements to expand their portfolios of existing products. Others are looking to expand overseas into new markets. Most of these transactions are complex, multi-faceted, and create significant uncertainty regarding financial reporting.
