Free consultation
At Vantis we understand that the changes to the accounting for share based payments FRS 20 and IFRS 2 have introduced are complex and far reaching.
We are happy to offer a free no obligation consultation to discuss the potential impact of these new standards for your company.
Auditor independence
Where Vantis is your auditor and as a consequence is prohibited from undertaking valuation work in connection with share based payments, we can still assist you in obtaining the appropriate advice. Vantis has established a referral network with other service providers, with the aim of providing you with a choice of specialist advisers in this area, at competitively priced fees.
