If this is your situation

Businesses need to ensure that they use their resources to generate the most effective returns for shareholders. This means understanding the implications of all their investments, their use of debt and how their capital is structured within a typically complex and international group;
Expansion into a new market, developing a new product or merging with or acquiring another business can all give rise to competition enquiries and reviews;
A need for independent, objective appraisal and evaluation of policy options and programmes;
Understanding the macro-economic related issues you may have – e.g., the economic outlook and risks in markets, sectoral and regional analysis and forecasts, housing market modelling, pensions modelling and economic impact assessments; and
Considering the relationship between economic policy, environmental protection and social development to achieve sustainable development.
