Business & Assets Valuation

IFRS 3 lays down the requirement for the accounting of business combinations and requires the use of fair value estimated that is derived from the Fair Value Measurement Framework for financial reporting. We assist to derive an indicative price before an acquisition strategy is developed. We also perform a valuation of companies should you wish to dispose off your businesses.

International Financial reporting standards (IFRS) enforce strict guidelines for the business combinations. Purchase price allocation (PPA) serves to enhance the transparency of the activity processes and identify the true value of the assets.

Purchase price allocation (also known as “Assets and Liabilities Valuation”) is the process of assigning fair value to all major assets and liabilities of an enterprise, either following a merger or an acquisition. Assets included can be either tangible (machinery and equipment, property) or intangible (customer relationships/lists, trademarks, intellectual property, goodwill or other intangibles).

We carry out impairment testing for listed and unlisted companies as defined under the accounting standards, which is a requirement to conduct such impairment test for its assets to see whether it has incurred impairment losses. The purpose is to ensure that the assets are not overstated.

If your business is caught in a legal dispute relating to business, commercial and matrimonial/family/divorce proceedings, we can provide valuation of shares / business, trial preparation and expert testimony. We also specialise in disputes relating to their personal or corporate tax matters that require valuation expertise, as well as providing litigation support as expert witnesses in Court proceedings.

When an individual sustains a physical injury due to the action or inaction of another person (often related to a motor vehicle), the individual may seek compensation. We can assist with the quantification of the damages. We also assist in valuing losses arising from contracts used in the construction industry, the types of losses that may arise if those contracts are breached (i.e., the types of claims which may arise), and the documents required for supporting a claim for damages.

We provide our services by acting as expert witness and furnishing expert reports for submission to the Courts for purposes of business valuation arising from shareholders litigation or matrimonial disputes. Also, we assist to resolve disputes during mediation and arbitration proceedings and provide expert evidence to assist in forensic investigation into commercial fraud and financial irregularities.
