FINANCIAL REPORTING
Accurate fair value estimates can be
critical in accounting for the acquisition of businesses and intangible
assets, issuance of warrants and stock options, as well as goodwill
impairment testing. FairValue Advisors assists corporations and their
auditors in satisfying these fair value requirements, by providing
independent and comprehensive valuation. The need for third party
appraisals has continued to increase, resulting from heightened
awareness of independence issues and the complex nuances associated with
fair value financial reporting requirements. A substandard appraisal, or
failure to obtain appraisals when needed, can result in audit delays,
increased audit fees and potentially inaccurate financial reporting.
At FairValue AdvisorsTM, we work
closely with corporate officers and the Auditor in determining the
specific valuation needs. Our valuation process and reports are
specifically designed to satisfy the Auditor’s requirements and fully
comply with FASB’s financial reporting standards. Summarized below are
just a few of the common reasons for business appraisal services used in
financial reporting. Typical situations in which we provide valuations
for financial reporting include:
-
Purchase price allocations (SFAS no.
141)
-
Impairment testing for goodwill and intangible assets (SFAS
no. 142 & SFAS no. 144)
-
Options and warrants (SFAS no. 123)
