October 29, 2008. IBS IT Services, the member company of IBS Group Holding Limited, has commenced building a system for transformation and consolidation of financial statements at OAO Mechel, one of the top Russian metals companies.
The project will automate collection of statements from all companies within Mechel Group and provide generation of consolidated US GAAP statements based on those collected.
