The Team

Our Performance Improvement & Restructuring (PI&R) practice develops and leads enterprise-level Board and C-suite agendas for clients across the performance spectrum-healthy, underperforming, and distressed-to enhance margins, address financial challenges, and optimize cash flow in support of critical transformation initiatives.
The bankruptcy process and the related technical accounting requirements, determining the fair value of all the assets and liabilities of a business enterprise, and pushing the results down to every legal entity can be an enormous burden on financial, operational and systems management and their supporting teams. As part of our PI&R practice, Deloitte's Bankruptcy Accounting Team leads both large multinational organizations and mid-market companies through unique corporate restructuring challenges. Our team completes the process as quickly as possible and allows our clients' management to move forward and focus on the operations of the newly reorganized business. The Fresh Start team process necessitates two significant accounting events - recording the effects of a Plan of Reorganization and the revaluation of both assets and liabilities for debtors and non-debtors alike. These events are also typically coupled with a significant amount of merger and restructuring activity.
