Carminho Building Products Ltd (an Australian company) is a client of Rodrigues Accounting (RA). Carminho Building Products Ltd (CBP) is involved in the development, manufacture and distribution of a range of building products used in the construction industry. At present, CBP is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and RA has been providing both audit and non-audit services to CBP for the past seven years.
CBP is currently seeking international expansion opportunities for its core business competencies. CBP advises that its core competencies are the manufacture and distribution of building products. The company has already completed extensive marketing research seeking new opportunities for the international expansion of its building products manufacturing and distribution operations. As a result of this research the company has identified that the United Kingdom (UK) would potentially be a suitable site for the formation of a publicly listed subsidiary.
CBP has not made a final determination as to whether this expansion project will go ahead and as part of its research it has sought the services of RA. It has asked RA to provide reports outlining the financial reporting and disclosure issues that might arise if they decided to list their subsidiary on the London Stock Exchange in the UK.
