Success Stories
Statutory Compliance
CKH collaborated with a US-based multinational corporation to successfully outsource the Statutory Compliance functions. CKH continues to provide services through a centrally-managed solution, benefiting the client not only from a cost-savings perspective, but also from a “client experience” perspective where the client can rest assured that their businesses are in compliance. Our success is a measure of the level of comfort that CKH is able to give the client. The most important element of our client relationships stems from the CKH team collectively engaging with the network firms to harmonize the process of the system-wide reporting and efficiency.
VAT receivables: Improvement in cash flow management
When the project began, the client’s VAT receivables were in the center of on-going audit engagement aimed at verifying the true value of such receivables. Applying our expertise to the issue, CKH consultants resolved the uncertainty over VAT receivable and managed, in part, by successfully working with the authorities, to bring the receivable balance down from approximately EUR 7.5m to EUR 2.5m.
Compliance: up to date in all countries
When we inherited the project, there were multiple countries (e.g. Luxembourg, Hungary, Spain and the Nordics) where compliance-related work delays resulted in the financial statement and income tax return filings being late for 2-3 years, and numerous state notices for US related business activities. CKH professionals have been able to design a new and improved process, while simultaneously managing to establish a framework for timely compliance filings in each respective country.
Cost of compliance: significant reduction
The costs of compliance and audit procedures were reduced by a margin of roughly 50% with the direct participation of CKH through an outsourcing solution.
M&A Transaction Support
Two publicly-traded corporations going through a M&A transaction asked CKH to facilitate a post-deal accounting process to allow both entities to comply with their individual reporting requirements. Prior to CKH involvement, both corporations contemplated delaying the transaction by several months to have time to adjust their ERP systems to account for the post-transaction correctly.
CKH designed the process and assisted the staff of both corporations with implementing process. This facilitation subsequently allowed the project to be executed without impacting monthly and quarterly reporting deadlines. In addition, this process allowed two respective organizations to reposition and align their ERP-based processes without interruptions or delays to production.
The development and design of the ERP processes, testing, and multi-phase migrations were therefore not impacted by the pressure of deadlines associated with closing the M&A transaction. This uniquely tailored approach, facilitated by CKH, significantly increased the chances of a successful migration for each company’s ERP-based processes to fit the new requirements of their respective operations.
I thoroughly appreciate the quality of service I receive from CKH. The firm exemplifies what I look for in a partner/service provider; they consistently under-sale and over-deliver. They make investments to understand my business and then develop custom solutions to efficiently and economically meet my specific needs. I couldn’t recommend CKH more highly.
CKH has been a business partner of Spectrum Brands for an extended period of time. We engaged the CKH team to assist Spectrum Brands with an extremely complex accounting project: transforming an automated accounting close process into a manual monthly process. Spectrum’s divestiture of it core Global Batteries division to Energizer depended on CKH producing GAAP-compliant Battery-only financial statements every month for dozens of legal entities. They overcame innumerable obstacles and hardships to make it happen. After several months of successfully executing the manual monthly financial statement process, I wrote an e-mail to Harry which epitomizes my view of your firm: “I certainly applaud you and your organization for your heroic efforts climbing these mountains every month and every quarter. You are accounting warriors”.
The CKH audit team had an in-depth knowledge and the capability in delivering the audits in extremely tight schedules, without compromising quality. Their ideas, responsiveness and implementation have been exemplary and have improved the quality of our financial reporting. They provided in-depth knowledge and a focused approach to provide the right solutions to complicated accounting issues.
