The most important developments are mainly reflected in the following:<\/p><ul><li>Shrinking margins due to price pressure in all standard areas (accounting, wages, auditing, financial statements)<\/li><li>Risk of losing large mandates due to rotation<\/li><li>Purchase of smaller practices increasingly difficult<\/li><li>Lack of clarity on common objectives and implementation of decisions<\/li><\/ul><p>The ability to act, especially of medium-sized WP companies, is central to survival.\u00a0They do not have the structures and processes of the Big Four, but are active in the same market. They are therefore under very high competitive pressure, which they can only compensate for by purchasing \u201cBig 4 knowledge\u201d.\u00a0This is where our advisory services come in: we help the shareholders to take care of securing the company\u2019s existence instead of being primarily involved in auditing or advisory projects through operational tasks.
