Technology, Media and Telecoms

BDO’s technology, media and telecommunications experts are experienced in helping clients navigate the increasing challenges affecting the industry. We combine our extensive knowledge of the sector - which encompasses information technology, media & entertainment and telecommunications - with in-depth understanding of your business goals so that we can help you achieve them as efficiently as possible.

Innovation is essential to success in this diverse and complex industry sector. Businesses require holistic business advice to succeed in an environment beset by economic volatility, geopolitical tensions, tax and regulatory uncertainty and supply chain issues. Our telecommunications advisers are well versed in the challenges and opportunities in this attractive but competitive industry and work with you to meet the many challenges accompanying growth and expansion. 

The way we live, consume and do business is transformed by technology daily - there are no aspects of our lives that are untouched by its impact. Blockchain, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, personalisation and automation are driving a pace of change that is unprecedented. 

Telecommunications has seen game-changing disruptions in recent years, as the sector seeks to find balance within a strongly regulated environment. Providing clear and sound advice to help your business navigate change is what BDO does best. 

Nowhere has the impact of technology been deeper or wider than in media. How media and content is produced, distributed, monetised and consumed is unrecognisable from just a few years ago. The pace of change will continue to be driven by developments in technology.

Our people monitor the regulatory landscape and market movements, ensuring that our solutions are as innovative as the clients we support. We also leverage our global resources from one of the world’s largest auditing, advisory and tax networks to offer you direct access to local and global intelligence, which in turn can help you meet your business goals, wherever you operate.

We provide a wide range of guidance in the following key areas:

  • M&A including valuations, timing, fund raising, debt vs equity, financial structures
  • IP and transfer pricing guidance to improve your tax position
  • Revenue recognition
  • Data security
  • Supply chain management, including developing into new markets
  • Tax efficiency
  • Attracting talent and human capital management
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Best practice and benchmarking against the competition.
