The Local Accounting Standards Board of various countries has announced that IFRS will
replace current Local GAAP for publicly and non-publicly accountable enterprises in a span of
1-3 years in various countries.
The transition to IFRS is an accounting-driven exercise; however, its impact extends beyond
the Accounting Department and often requires significant changes to business processes and
information systems. For these reasons companies are strongly encouraged not to
underestimate the amount & technical complexity of work involved.
Global FPO has an established IFRS taskforce, which has worked with large, multinational
companies on full IFRS conversion as well as assisting smaller companies in assessing the
impact of IFRS and dealing with conversion issues.

Financial reports & financial research services
We offer these custom financial reports as part of the service bouquet:

This complex method involves analyzing various parameters of financial operation and then
deriving meaningful data from them. These include assessing expenditures or forecasting a
budget. We can spare you the cost of spending on skilled staff and the technology necessary
to carry out financial modeling.
2. DCF (Discounted cash flow) analysis
Discounted cash flow analysis is a popular method used for generating value in a future
investment– an asset, project or another company. Future expenditures are estimated and
they are ‘discounted’ to arrive at the present rates of these expenditures. DCF analysis is
particularly useful in financial research because they provide with a way of gauging how much
investment needs to go into valuing a particular asset, project or a company.
3. IPO (Initial public offering) analysis
IPO analysis is carried out to analyze the movement of various stocks in a financial market.
Though not completely accurate, IPO analysis can track your stocks as well as your
competitors stocks. It can give insight into the market performance of a particular company’s
stock and the reasons for the up or down movement.
4. Credit research

covenant analysis, risk profiles and the analysis of off balance sheet exposure.

is essential in taking critical business decisions.
11. Business Research Services
Business research is a potent tool for any organization. If you are a small business, business
market research can shed light on where to invest and where to cut costs. Unlike market
research, business research focuses on your competitors, their products, services, strategies
etc. These two research methods can help any business to strategize based on numbers and
not just by intuition.
Business research services can help you:
• Uncover your competitors for a particular offering
• Analyze their sales / marketing strategies
• Show growth trends and forecasts for a particular product / service
• Estimate the market size through competitive analysis
• Find new business opportunities where competition is less or non-existent
Small businesses need business competitive analysis and research as it will help to zero-in on
tactics to promote their products and services. Unlike research conducted by large firms,
business research can be a cost effective investment to chart a growth path for your company.
Conducting a business management research requires meticulous planning, execution and
reporting. Global FPO has been providing business research for small businesses around the
world and has extensive experience in methods that bring in valuable information back to you.
Here’s a list of the business research services that we provide:
1. Business competitive analysis: Competitive analysis can provide you with
intelligence on who are your competitors, their customers, economic health,
demographic information and product related information. You can use this information
to get ahead of your competitors
2. Business market research: Market research is the basis of any organization. It can
give you information on your target market, customers, market size, similar products
and their growth and other similar factors. Based on the outcome of the market
research you can make changes on how to package your product / service and decide
on the strategies needed to take it to the market
Research Process at Global FPO
Here’s a summary of the process that is being followed for our business research services:
1. Research goals: The first step of the research process is to finalize the goals of the
research project. All subsequent activities follow the goal(s) and are planned for,
accordingly
12. 2. Creating the research plan: A detailed research plan is drawn, which comprises of
the target audience for the research, and the tools needed. The research plan varies
with each research project
3. Information collection: Information is collected from the target audience through
means such as questionnaires, e-mails, online surveys, online focus groups and field
surveys. The collected information is stored in a database which is further used for
analysis
4. Analyze the information: The collected information is then subjected to statistical
analyses such as Regression analysis, ANOVA, Cross tabulation etc. This provides
findings into various relationships in the collected data
5. Reporting: The final stage of the research process involves presenting the information
in graphs, charts and self-explanatory tables. These are intended to help the end-user
of the research report to assimilate the findings of the research project easily
13. Investment Research Services
Investment Research can be defined very broadly as a process that contains one or more of
the following:
• The results of research into a designated investment or its issuer
• Analysis of factors likely to influence the future performance of a designated investment or
its issuer; and
• Advice or recommendations based on those results and that analysis.
Investment Research is useful to:
• Individual investors
• High Net worth Individuals (HNI)
• Asset management companies
• Companies
• Economic Analysts
Process of Investment Research
Investment research involves fundamental analysis, technical analysis, or a combination of the
two. Fundamental analysis essentially explains what to buy while technical analysis could be
used to decide on when to buy.
• Fundamental Analysis
Fundamental analysis begins with the assertion that the 'true' or 'intrinsic' value of any
financial asset equals the present value of all cash flows that the owner of the asset
expects to receive. Accordingly the fundamental stock analyst attempts to forecast the
timing and size of these cash flows and then converts them into equivalent present value
by using an appropriate discount rate. Once the true value of the asset is determined, it
is compared with the current market price of the asset in order to see whether the asset
is fairly priced. Those assets whose price is above the intrinsic value are said to be 'over
valued' and those whose prices are lower than the intrinsic value are 'under valued'. The
magnitude of the difference between the current market value and 'true value' is also
important information, because the strength of the research conviction that whether a
given asset is incorrectly priced will partly depend on this information. To determine the
intrinsic value, the financial statements of a company are extensively analyzed. Other
factors such as its credit rating, business model, competitor parity of the company are also
thoroughly scrutinized.
• Technical Analysis
Technical analysis involves the study of stock market prices of the financial asset under
consideration, in an attempt to predict the future price movements it may take.
14. Initially, past prices are examined in order to identify recurring trends or patterns in price
movements. Then more recent prices are analyzed in order to identify emerging trends or
patterns that are similar to past ones. This analysis is done in the belief that these trends
or patterns repeat themselves. Thus by identifying an emerging trend or pattern, the
analyst hopes to accurately predict future price movements for that particular asset.
• Combination Technique
As can be seen, neither of the two methods is comprehensive. A synthesis of the two
would be deal rather than any one, giving the investor information on what to buy and
when to buy it.
Apart from these two broad based techniques there are other techniques like passive
investing which involves investing in index stocks or funds based on an active index.
15. Credit Research Services
The importance of credit research in financial decision making has always been of paramount
priority. In the recent times, credit research has grown in importance owing to the various
events taking place across the financial world.
Credit research lets users establish:
• Key factors about an issuer's creditworthiness
• Credit rating of holdings
• Distinction between different risk exposures for new and existing deals
• Understanding of analysts’ interpretation of significant political, regulatory, and
environmental events and their impact economically

insurance companies, Global FPO’s credit research services aims to help your company achieve
