Job
Why work with a contribution auditor?
For operations related to contributions in kind, we act as a contribution auditor. Our mission entails controlling the reality of the contributions and their ownership, assessing their value, and verifying that they have not been overvalued. When we take on merger or split missions, we also examine the exchange parity. We can also intervene in the creation of preference shares. These have specific rights attached to them.
Our opinion building trust
Our firm acts as a contribution auditor for operations involving contributions in kind, whether they concern tangible or intangible assets or securities. We are also occasionally appointed as auditors for mergers or demergers, particularly in cases of partial asset contributions.
Finally, we are called upon as special benefits auditors to describe, assess, and evaluate the preferences granted to a company’s shareholders.
