Operations
Accuracy operates in four situations:
- Transactions & investments – valuations, project advisory and post M&A advisory
- Disputes & crises – litigation & arbitration, recovery, investigations, forensics and project disputes
- Corporate strategy & finance – strategic & financial planning, group & portfolio strategy
- Business performance – business model innovation, smart reporting and transformation
Accuracy’s model excludes all regulated accounting and financial activities, such as statutory audits. The firm is focused on independence and removing conflicts of interest. Accuracy states that it will never work for more than one party on a particular matter. For example, it is relatively common for a consultancy firm to provide advice to more than one potential bidder for an asset, which can be regarded as a conflict of interest.
Locations
Accuracy now has office in 17 locations worldwide:{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Global Reach - Accuracy|url=https://www.accuracy.com/global-reach|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=|website=}}
