Robert Mladek
Educator, consultant, managing director.
As an educator, I focus on working professionals. Besides the practical aspects of applying IFRS or US GAAP, my aim is also filling in the gaps left by education and regulatory systems whose primarily focus is still National GAAP rather than IFRS or US GAAP.
As a consultant, I specialize in helping subsidiaries of international companies implement and maintain IFRS or US GAAP reporting systems. I have also helped local companies reconcile National GAAP to IFRS or US GAAP and assisted several in preparing for a stock market listing or trade sale.
As managing director, I bear ultimate responsibility for the entity's legal, regulatory and tax compliance.
