Challenge
The client required assistance with the acquisition of several smaller businesses that had never been audited.

Solution
Blythe Global leveraged their extensive knowledge to help evaluate the transaction from a financial and accounting perspective and to provide value throughout the process from pre-acquisition to post-integration. For the target acquisitions, Blythe Global helped prepare financial statements, schedules and footnotes as well as other pro forma SEC information and generally supported all parties through the audit process. In addition to assisting in the integration of all financial information and processes into the client company’s systems, Blythe Global helped upgrade the client company’s internal audit controls, including implementation of the new COSO model.

Result
As a result, the expanded company is now on secure footing to maintain SOX compliance.
