Choose the right perspective
Match the person's reporting framework and entity count to yours, since consolidating under IFRS across many countries raises different problems from a US GAAP group with a handful of subsidiaries. If your real question is about a consolidation system rather than the accounting, look for someone whose roles combined consolidation with reporting systems work.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you handle intercompany mismatches so they do not hold up the group close?
- 02What would you change first in a consolidation process that takes too many days after month end?
- 03How do you prepare the consolidation team for an acquisition or a change in the group's structure?
