A publicly traded multinational manufacturing conglomerate required complete translation of its annual consolidated financial statements and PwC independent auditor report. The documentation comprised balance sheets, income statements, cash flows, and 128 technical disclosure schedules (including goodwill impairment testing, ECL models, and Key Audit Matters / KAMs). Standard AI translation was strictly ruled out due to systemic risks of dropped decimals, sign inversion, and terminology drift.

Linguist assigned industry linguists, reviewers and a dedicated PM. Scope included Audit Report Translation, Financial Cross-Footing, CPA Dual-Review, etc.. Within 1 month, we delivered and QA’d 4 languages—achieving: Reconciled thousands of multi-period figures with zero variance; certified sign-off by licensed CPA linguists

⚠️ Challenge

Project challenges

Challenge 01

Every figure referenced in the disclosure notes had to tie out 100% against primary statements across historical comparative periods.

Challenge 02

Strict statutory chart of accounts

Required line-by-line alignment with official IFRS and CAS definitions, eliminating generic dictionary phrasing.

Challenge 03

KAM technical complexity

Valuation models, level 3 fair value hierarchies, and auditor caveats required native financial precision.

Board sign-off to exchange filing left a tight 48-hour turn to deliver publication-ready proofs across four languages.
