Identify relevant agreements, financial records and assumptions. Where several assessments relate to one transaction, coordinate shared information and inputs.
Develop and explain the analysis

The information request will be tailored to the purpose and scope. If your records are incomplete, we can first discuss preparation priorities.
Frequently asked questions
Can one acquisition require several valuation assessments?
Yes. An acquisition may involve PPA, intangible assets and financial instruments, followed by later impairment assessments. The scope and relevant dates should be considered together.
When should the valuation work begin?
Discuss the requirements once the reporting matter is identified. Early scoping gives the team time to assemble information and resolve questions before the reporting deadline.
