Consolidation
techniques have changed little over the past years. Which is why it's
surprising to hear that a new book on the subject has just been published.
We’re talking about this one because we're proud to say that it was written by
Allen White, one of the founders of our group, Sigma Conso.
Direct
Consolidation (Consolidate your expertise) has just been published. The book is
in English. It is 500 pages long and is intended for consolidation
professionals, students, group financial managers and anyone looking for an
introduction to consolidation or wishing to increase their knowledge about the
topic.
Allen White had
already published two books on the topic in French in the early 1990s (La
Consolidation Directe, principes de base and La Consolidation Directe, études
de cas). Several non-French-speaking clients and some of our partners in other
countries had been asking him to publish a translation of the books in English
for several years now.
While translating
the books in 2015, Allen realised that, although consolidation techniques
hadn’t changed much over the past 20 to 30 thirty years, his own approach had
changed radically during that time. He felt that that the existing books could
be significantly improved. His experience in the field and as a teacher enabled
him to shed new light on the subject. Which is why a new book is being
published this month.
