Valuations

Estimates of value like price support, estimate of economic loss from a legal dispute, and reporting fair value are all needed in business. The concluded value or values are important, but the most critical aspect is developing robust supporting documentation. Regulators, auditors, and other experts conduct detailed reviews, so any methodologies, assumptions, and cross-checks used need to be supported, reviewed, and validated. Our specialists will save you time and money, reduce risk, offer sound advice, and make your life easier with tailored services. We can help you with valuations for any of the following:

• Financial reporting (purchase price allocations (PPAs) and impairment testing)
• Mergers and acquisitions / corporate strategy (synergy analysis, target valuation, and value-based strategic analysis)
• Tax compliance and efficiency (transfers of business interests and consolidation events)
• Legal disputes
• Strategic business transactions
