The organization is a joint venture between CBIZ, a leading professional services provider to middle market businesses and organizations in the United States, and RBK, the largest independent accounting and business advisory firm in Ireland.
Our highly respected team of professionals can help you meet the challenges of starting or managing your fund. In today’s environment of increased regulation and changing rules, CBIZ RBK’s Alternative Investment Group stays on the cutting edge of relevant policies, practices, and procedures.
In addition to the more traditional long/short equity funds, CBIZ RBK’s Alternative Investments Practice has in-depth knowledge of complex entities with hard to value investments, such as PIPE funds, life settlement funds, ABL funds, and credit strategies. We also provide services to investment managers.
We are committed to offering our clients the highest level of personal service by providing unmatched responsiveness and accessibility.
The preparation of financial statements and note disclosures in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and Financial Reporting Standard (FRS) 102 for alternative investment entities is complex.
Keeping up with the frequent changes in the accounting industry and financial statement disclosure requirements (such as those required under IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments) is difficult in today’s fast-paced environment and creates management challenges. CBIZ RBK is an audit firm uniquely qualified to prepare a set of IFRS financial statements and the related note disclosures specific for investment funds, including hedge funds, private equity, and funds of funds.
In addition to our core audit services, CBIZ RBK’s Alternative Investments Practice offers a comprehensive service to investment funds in which it will prepare a set of U.S. GAAP or IFRS financial statements and supporting schedules. The investment fund’s independent auditor would, in turn, apply audit procedures.
