We provide a variety of finance and accounting solutions including:

Technical accounting
Whether it’s preparing compliant financial statements for an initial public offering or properly recording a business combination resulting from a merger or acquisition, accounting can be complex. It often requires the focused attention of professionals with significant expertise and seasoned judgment. Even the day-to-day demands of accounting and finance personnel involve considerable effort and attention. We can provide ongoing technical accounting and financial reporting services, including:
- On-call technical accounting consulting
- Assistance with SEC comment letter responses
- Assistance with implementation of accounting standards, including the new revenue recognition standard
- In-depth reviews of technical accounting memoranda and conclusions
- Assessment of current accounting policies and assistance in optimizing policy decisions
- Spearheading the organization’s preparation of Form 10-Q and Form 10-K
Lease Accounting Consulting
- Lease accounting is experiencing revolutionary changes across all industries. The new ASC 842 standard brings a wide range of implications across most organizations, and will require most operating leases to be reflected on the balance sheet, which by itself is a sizeable task. The data and systems challenges ASC 842 will bring to companies are significant and, without adequate planning and preparation, may be overwhelming. Given the time commitment required to implement the standard and the level of complexity involved, companies should start gathering data, abstracting leases, and selecting and implementing technology solutions soon to avoid challenges down the road. We can help you manage the following
- Data gathering
- Abstracting leases
- Implementing technology solutions
Revenue recognition consulting
- This is a proven approach to the implementation and management of a complex new standard. Preparing for and complying with the new revenue recognition standard may be more challenging than many companies realize. The standard is complex and represents a revolutionary change in accounting, affecting both internal and external perceptions of a company’s performance. Adoption and implementation of the new standard also provides an opportunity to consider strategic operational issues such as improving efficiency, enhancing information systems, and strengthening processes and controls. We have developed an integrated approach to enable the timely and efficient adoption of the new standard. Cross-functional teams provide the technical accounting expertise as well as the technology and tools needed to support both implementation and ongoing governance.

BSA/AML Compliance

Team Adhoc provides banks and other financial institutions with on-site and off-site BSA/AML and lending compliance staff augmentation needs. Our network of highly seasoned consultants has worked with multiple institutions: many of which are subject to regulatory enforcement actions, with the necessary broad insight to navigate complex compliance initiatives. Their areas of expertise range from KYC remediation to lookback projects, to assisting institutions with monthly alert drops, case escalations, timely SAR filing, client on-boarding, KYC reviews, and sanctions screening. This experience allows them to pivot between multiple projects to carry out concurrent initiatives. Team Adhoc is run by compliance subject matter experts: each with over a decade of hands-on compliance experience. As such, they can better understand each financial institution’s unique needs in granular detail and pull from their existing network, ensuring the quality of work from each candidate, without burdening clients with unproven candidates or those with a skill set that fails to correlate to the specific need at hand.
Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering compliance reaches into virtually all corners of the financial services industry. The plethora of penalties resulting from non-compliance are too high to be taken lightly. Team Adhoc’s BSA/AML Consulting Practice is based on experience and demonstrated expertise. We deliver those services in a customized, measurable way to meet your needs.

Advisory

Team Adhoc’s AML practice is the cusp of a multi-decade collaboration between the AML industry’s leading advisory consultants who have worked closely with financial institutions, regulators and the nation’s top AML advisory firms to help strengthen AML programs since 2003. Unlike competitor firms whose field experience is limited or predates the current AML environment, our management team has extensive and current on-site experience helping retail and commercial banks, brokerage firms, payment services/network operators and credit card issuers hedge AML risk and strengthen internal controls as part of several highly publicized FRB, OCC and NYDFS enforcement actions. Our management team not only possesses the requisite BSA/AML subject matter expertise, it goes beyond evaluating and understanding the gaps between the current and desired state of an AML program in a constantly evolving regulatory environment. In turn, we can assist with the execution of the necessary steps to remediate these gaps, as we have done for over 30 clients in the past 13 years.

Temporary Staff Augmentation

By leveraging our existing global network of thousands of AML consultants in diverse compliance areas, our firm masters the tools to seamlessly facilitate crucial temporary staff needs. Achieving mandatory milestones under tight regulatory time constraints is not accomplished by the incursion of a team unexposed to the industry. Team Adhoc is proud to present proficient industry experts to fulfill myriad compliance challenges. By working extensively with peer institutions, our firm will aid in efforts to remain ahead of the curve by leveraging industry best practices before they become industry laws.
