We do not believe in quick fixes. We deal with the fundamental problems.

We have people on the ground with real experience of dealing with crisis situations in Russia:

Tony Thompson, Partner, Head of Advisory, KPMG in Russia and the CIS.
Led major restructuring projects in Russia after the 1998 financial crisis.

Ian Colebourne, Partner, Head of Forensic, KPMG in Russia and the CIS.
Led major asset tracing work in Russia after the 1998 crisis. Built the leading forensic team in Russia.

One thing the crisis will do is it will clearly determine the winners from the losers.

This is our guidance in relation to your actions, based on our experience of dealing with the crisis of 1998:

• Act quickly and decisively - but based on a sound analysis
• Use experienced advisors - especially if you have not managed companies through a crisis before. Just relying on international methodologies or decision making trees will not help you if you do not have someone who has actually done it in Russia
• No one knows how bad things will get - so make sure your business stays robust even in the worst case scenario
• Manage and retain the trust of your key stakeholders - this is your main asset in a crisis
• Above all - see opportunities, not only problems. When the crisis is over, you have an excellent chance to come out of it stronger - by building a more robust financial and management base more suited to the demands of the economic environment, allowing you to move ahead of your remaining competitors

Please call us if you are sure you need proffesional advice.

We are committed to helping you.
