For the Business Owner
It's not just about calculating a number or a value, your valuation professional needs to be able to articulate the path to value for the auditor team, legal audiences, or shareholders and your Board. If the purpose at hand appears to need less than a formal valuation we then ask:
Would a summary valuation better fulfill the need at hand?
Would simple, objective, analytical support for arbitration or discussions best meet the need?
Would defining a "fair" split of assets or value progress the situation?
Note: We are careful to comply with standards set by the governing bodies for CPAs and valuation professionals, but balance that knowledge with practical need. |
