What do the Big Four accountants do? Take Deloitte as an example.

The business scope of the four major businesses is not only auditing, but also taxation &; Business consulting, ERS enterprise risk service and FAS enterprise financial consulting, etc.

It is said that many people are different from Deloitte's security consulting department. In fact, the four business chains are very broad, but many people don't know it. Taking Deloitte as an example, it is literacy to talk about what the main business includes. Welcome to add corrections:

I. Audit

As we all know, audit is synonymous with the Big Four, and it is also the old bank of the Big Four, but the proportion of income is gradually decreasing, which means the diversification of business. Everyone knows the audit very well, so I won't introduce it much. Audit business mainly includes

1. Annual report audit (large-scale companies will also have pre-examination). Various audits

2.IPO audit, financial compliance audit before listing. Various audits

3. Special audit (issue audit report for specific matters). Various audits

4. Capital verification, because there is no technical content, is basically not done, and it is also one of the basic businesses of the firm. Almost no one has done it.

5. Due diligence, various audits and procedures are similar to auditing.

6. liquidation audit, all kinds of liquidation and liquidation.

However, you find that auditing is actually a "verification" business. It is an independent third-party authenticity inspector who issues audit reports and bears corresponding legal responsibilities and risks. Therefore, auditors will be more rigid, their thinking will be more solidified, and they will be more convinced of the problem. Skepticism is what we often say about auditing occupational diseases.

Second, taxation &; Business consulting

Tax service is also the traditional business of the four old brands. With the improvement and update of the tax law, the scope of taxation is getting wider and wider. Many people say that taxation is not like taxation, but more business consulting, and taxation is an important focus. The tax business mainly includes:

1. Tax agent: It is also the most complicated and basic work, including corporate tax declaration and personal tax declaration, so it is divided into corporate tax group, personal tax group, American tax group and so on, that is, filing for companies, individuals and Americans in China.

2.

Tax consultation: all kinds of consultation, compliance, tax avoidance, tax reduction and exemption, high and new technology, etc., write consultation reports and provide all kinds of tax-related consultation for customers. It also includes consulting relevant government departments. For example, DTT helped draft many tax laws and regulations that you are familiar with.

3. International tax service: a group that uses tax agreements between countries to make corporate structure arrangements and plan tax burdens. All kinds of writing reports

4.M&A； A) All kinds of due diligence, assisting colleagues in FAS department to sit together in the company's financial due diligence, and finding possible risk points in the future and problems affecting enterprise valuation negotiation from the tax perspective.

5. Transfer pricing is one of the most important means of global tax planning, including benchmark analysis, advance pricing arrangement, various analyses and various negotiations. Because the advance pricing arrangement is to negotiate with the tax bureau and let them accept your pricing arrangement. Very professional and narrow-minded

6. Tariff/indirect tax: various tariff consultation and services.

7. tax defense: act as a lawyer when fighting tax-related lawsuits.

8. Business consultation: various structural arrangements, investment in China, process agency for company establishment and cancellation, and related consultation on business operation.

9. Law firms, completely transformed into lawyers providing legal services.

10. Immigration.

Including immigration consultation and some simple agents.

Third, Deloitte consulting DC company.

The largest consulting company in North America, with the highest income, good reputation and the most complicated business, can provide all kinds of novel services beyond your imagination.

1.

Enterprise strategy consultation (strategy &;

Operation) is also a part of the business competing with MBB. It is common strategy, customer service market, supply chain management, enterprise merger and acquisition strategy and so on. A better service line.

2. Financial management consulting. This is different from FAS, which mainly includes financial strategic planning, financial management improvement consulting and enterprise performance.

Small service lines such as improvement and capital organization optimization.

3. Strategic consultation, project management, risk control, bank optimization, standard consultation, etc.

4. Human resource consulting services are usually called HR consulting, including performance appraisal design, corporate culture integration, salary planning and design, HR strategic consulting and HR.

Leadership development, training and so on.

5.

Actuarial Consulting: Many people may not know that DC is also a big enterprise and the largest enterprise in the United States. Including insurance company risk management consulting, social security pension accounting, M&A due diligence valuation (insurance company), model analysis and other small service lines.

6. Enterprise ERP implementation. Including the implementation of SAP, Oracle, GDC and other software.

7.IT consulting, IT

Planning, enterprise information management consulting, various optimizations and so on.

8.

National security consulting, some departments in the United States, provide all kinds of information consultation and optimization to the American security department.

9.

Public relations, don't you know that DC, the United States and China all have special public relations departments to enhance corporate image and help solve problems?

10. Global delivery business is the so-called outsourcing service department. It is very complicated, such as labor dispatch and outsourcing of various services.

Four.

ERS enterprise risk service

This department is actually separated from the audit, paying more attention to the internal control and risk control of enterprises, looking for potential risk points from financial processes, computer systems and other aspects, reducing the risk of enterprise operation, and also doing internal audit and internal control.

There are many small business lines, so I won't elaborate. Mainly includes:

Enterprise risk control management consulting, capital market risk control service, compliance inspection, information technology risk control service, ERP system control (that is, finding possible risk points in the design process), enterprise internal control consulting, internal audit, computer audit, it due diligence, data analysis and other services.

In fact, the business of this department overlaps with auditing and DC, but the business in the market segment is independent. It's interesting, but if you don't get along well with people, you will feel bored. I think it is better to audit. Ha ha laugh

Enterprise financial consultation

I put FAS last, not that it is the youngest, but that many of its businesses are interesting. Moreover, I have a good relationship with my colleagues at FAS and often work on projects together. As a whole, this department is quite technical, and there are wide opportunities for job-hopping in the future. Just a lot of business trips, more than audits, all kinds of interviews, very training. But at the same time, the basic requirements for finance are also very important. This department specifically includes:

1.

Corporate financial consulting, usually called TT, is a merger; A due diligence, all kinds of due diligence, including financial DD, operating DD, a lot of business trips, a little harder, but people in Malik and DD will find it very fun, all kinds of enterprises can see it, and all kinds of lies and tricks should be seen.

2.

Business DD is a department that studies computers and various databases, just to see if there are black spots and bribes in business. Fraud or something.

3.CFA, a very high-end service line, is the closest service group to the investment bank, looking for seed enterprises, assisting in due diligence, helping to contact financing, and finally packaging, listing or selling. There is not much business in this service line, but every order is very large. The so-called three-year non-opening, three-year open typical representative!

4.

Legal accounting. Favorite lawyers, a group of people who collect evidence and defend in economic cases, and financial personnel.

5.

Restructuring helps enterprises to do planning consultation and sort out structural arrangements as a whole, but the main customers are banks. These projects are relatively large.

6.

Valuation (EVA) This is an auxiliary service line, which assists in the valuation of enterprises during mergers and acquisitions, as well as the valuation, modeling and storytelling of the target companies of the CFA department mentioned above.

I still have to go to work, so I didn't say much, but I believe that the newcomers have basically understood all the businesses of the four major companies after reading this post. Although Deloitte is taken as an example, the homogenization of the four major businesses is basically the same. That is, Deloitte's service line is more complete.
