Audit and compliance experience specific to financial holding activities is rare and unique. It is mainly found in investment banks and in a few consultancies. It is of crucial importance when it comes to certifying to new partners that the business is being run properly, or when it comes to securing the confidence of the tax authorities in the application of preferential tax regimes. This book covers the essential aspects of a dissertation, but differs in its methodological approach, focusing mainly on audit, control and risk management work. The book is aimed at managers, decision-makers, financial managers, accountants, lawyers and tax specialists working on compliance issues relating to investment and divestment transactions. It provides the reader with professional commentaries based on real audit and advisory assignments involving portfolio management companies.
