 Business Valuation

A business valuation examines and analyzes your business to determine the value of the underlying equity or capital. Our highly credentialed valuation team has worked on hundreds of valuations for a variety of purposes. You can count on our experience to provide sustainable valuations of businesses with a quick turnaround time.

Our opinions are based on our staff’s professional judgment and information accumulated from internal and external sources. We are frequently called upon to appear as expert witnesses in litigation to attest to the accuracy and implications of business valuations.

Financial Reporting 141/142

Statement 141 requires that all business combinations be accounted for by a single method—the purchase method. The purchase method records all business combinations based on the values exchanged, providing information about the total purchase price paid to acquire another entity. Our team has conducted over 80 FAS 141 engagements with an aggregate value of more than $7 billion.

Statement 142 makes the amortization of acquired goodwill and other intangible assets acceptable. Our highly experienced team has conducted more than 100 successful FAS 142 engagements.  We can help you understand and address the volatility in reported income that may be caused by impairment losses, which are likely to occur irregularly and in varying amounts.

 

Intellectual Property Valuation

Intellectual property (IP) valuation is an important strategic issue. Under IP law, the holder of one of these abstract properties has certain exclusive rights to the creative work, commercial symbol or invention by which it is covered.

An IP valuation can determine the value of your intellectual property in the event you want to sell it.  It will also substantiate the value if the owner is challenged in any way about its value.  Understanding the value of your IP is very important to effectively manage your resources. In addition to valuing your intellectual property, our valuation team can help you support how the value was determined.
