This expertise is then productized where possible and strengthened by supporting tools and templates. So, whether it is technical knowledge in terms of the impact of IFRS on a particular accounting standard, or perhaps best practices in terms of financial controls and testing procedures for SOX 404, all ICI products are designed to provide the customer with strong guidance and direction to manage the issue at hand.
