Backed by our experience in major transactions across various industries, our valuations stand up to the high standards of both US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Our experts are highly appreciated and actively collaborate in determining valuation standards and best practices with leading global accounting firms. Our adherence to the highest valuation standards ensures that our valuations are highly accepted by the Big 4 as well as other leading accounting firms.

Following the completion of an M&A process, PPA valuations are necessary in order to assess the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities, breaking down the purchase price to intangible assets and goodwill. After completing this process, in the following years, general financial reporting principals require that an impairment test be conducted. Impairment tests periodically evaluate goodwill and other intangible assets for any amortizations, ensuring alignment with current market conditions. Both processes are mandated by accounting principles to ensure accurate and transparent financial reporting processes.

As part of our values, we commit ourselves to the highest standards and regulations, including US GAAP, AICAP guidance, NACVA and IFRS. Our team of experts stays constantly updated on regulatory developments, updating their knowledge daily to ensure compliance with the latest regulations and relevant guidance.
