Large-Scale Retailing – Food & Non-Food

Various large-scale retailing companies have grown up in the North East of Italy and now operate in both the food and non-food sectors. The food sector comprises some leading organizations in the organic products and natural food sector, while the non-food sector includes sales networks created to extend the supply chain to include companies that originally only operated as manufacturing enterprises. 

In assisting companies operating in the large-scale retailing sector our professional staff have gained significant experience by assisting them in: 

• Extraordinary operations (mergers, demergers);
• Consultancy in extraordinary operations (M&A buying or selling);
• Purchase Price allocations;
• Due Diligence on extraordinary operations, allocating merger deficits or allocating consolidation differences; 
• Assistance in drawing up individual and consolidated financial statements according to national and international accounting standards GAAP or IAS/IFRS; 
• Assistance in obtaining rulings from the Inland Revenue on patent box matters (relative to corporate brands);
• Expert appraisals for legal purposes.

There are significant and numerous statutory auditor appointments in companies operating in the large-scale retail sector.
