Simplify IFRS Reporting in KSA with MHK’s Professional Advisory Team

In today's rapidly evolving financial landscape, transparency, consistency, and compliance have become critical pillars of a strong financial framework. This is especially true in Saudi Arabia, where companies are increasingly expected to align their financial reporting practices with global standards, specifically the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). For businesses operating in the Kingdom, the transition to IFRS services can be a complex and daunting task—but with the right support, it doesn't have to be.

MHK Services offers expert IFRS advisory services in KSA, designed to help companies simplify the reporting process, ensure full compliance, and enhance stakeholder confidence.

Understanding IFRS Advisory Services in the KSA

IFRS, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), is a globally recognized framework for financial reporting that aims to bring uniformity and transparency to financial statements across borders. In Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Organization for Chartered and Professional Accountants (SOCPA) has mandated IFRS adoption for all listed companies and many other entities, pushing businesses to embrace international best practices.

The move to IFRS represents a major shift from local GAAP or customized accounting policies. This transition involves not just technical changes in how numbers are reported, but also changes in systems, processes, and corporate mindset.

The Role of MHK’s IFRS Advisory Team

MHK Services understands the challenges businesses face during IFRS implementation and ongoing compliance. Our professional advisory team combines technical accounting knowledge with practical industry experience to deliver tailored solutions that fit your business size, sector, and operational model.

Here’s how MHK simplifies IFRS reporting for businesses in Saudi Arabia:

 Initial IFRS Advisory Impact Assessment

Before initiating the IFRS transition, MHK performs a comprehensive impact assessment to evaluate the effect of IFRS on your organization. This includes:

  • Identifying gaps between your current accounting framework and IFRS.

  • Pinpointing high-impact areas such as revenue recognition, leases (IFRS 16), financial instruments (IFRS 9), and impairment testing (IAS 36).

  • Assessing data availability and system readiness.

This critical first step helps create a roadmap that aligns with your business priorities and timelines.


2. IFRS Conversion and Transition Support

The process of IFRS conversion goes beyond just updating financial statements—it affects internal controls, tax planning, investor relations, and more. MHK’s advisory experts guide your team through:

  • Preparing opening balance sheets and restating comparative periods.

  • Documenting accounting policy choices.

  • Implementing required disclosures and notes.

  • Training internal teams on IFRS standards and practices.

Our hands-on approach ensures a smooth and efficient transition, minimizing disruption to your daily operations.


3. Technical Accounting Advisory

IFRS includes many complex and judgment-intensive areas. MHK’s advisory professionals provide on-demand technical accounting advice on specific IFRS topics such as:

  • Lease classification and accounting under IFRS 16.

  • Revenue recognition under IFRS 15.

  • Financial instruments classification and valuation under IFRS 9.

  • Business combinations (IFRS 3) and fair value measurement (IFRS 13).

We help you apply IFRS in a way that reflects the economic reality of your transactions while meeting compliance requirements.


4. Financial Statement Preparation & Review

Producing IFRS-compliant financial statements is a rigorous process that requires detailed disclosures, reconciliations, and narrative explanations. MHK assists with:

  • Preparing full IFRS-compliant financial statements.

  • Reviewing and validating disclosures.

  • Ensuring compliance with the latest IFRS amendments and interpretations.

  • Coordinating with auditors and regulators.

With our support, you gain confidence in the accuracy, completeness, and compliance of your reports.


5. IFRS Training for Internal Teams

Successful IFRS implementation depends heavily on the knowledge and competence of internal staff. MHK offers customized IFRS training programs tailored for finance teams, CFOs, and audit committees. Training covers:

  • Overview of key IFRS standards relevant to your industry.

  • Practical application using real-world case studies.

  • Workshops on preparing disclosures and handling auditor queries.

We empower your staff to take ownership of IFRS reporting with confidence and clarity.


6. Ongoing IFRS Compliance Support

IFRS is not static—it evolves constantly. With new standards and amendments being issued regularly, businesses must stay alert and responsive. MHK offers ongoing support to help your business stay IFRS-compliant year after year by:

  • Monitoring changes in IFRS standards.

  • Updating financial statements accordingly.

  • Advising on the accounting treatment of new business transactions.

  • Providing advisory support during audits and regulatory reviews.

This ensures you never fall behind or face penalties due to non-compliance.


Industries We Serve

MHK’s IFRS advisory team brings deep sector expertise across various industries in KSA, including:

  • Real Estate & Construction
     IFRS 15 and IFRS 16 are particularly challenging for real estate companies. We help manage revenue recognition for long-term contracts and lease arrangements.

  • Retail & Hospitality
     Complex lease structures and loyalty programs require careful IFRS analysis and disclosures.

  • Financial Services
