Why is valuation modeling critical in mergers and acquisitions?

Valuation modeling provides predictive frameworks that help determine fair value estimates in M&A scenarios, guiding negotiation, structuring, and integration decisions.

How are purchase price allocation and goodwill impairment applied in financial reporting?

In acquisitions, purchase price allocation allocates the purchase consideration into specific assets and liabilities; goodwill impairment reviews test whether recorded goodwill remains supportable under current performance assumptions.

When is valuation needed for joint ventures or complex business arrangements?

Valuation is needed when forming partnerships, joint ventures, or other strategic structures to measure ownership interests and establish appropriate contributions or distributions.

How does valuation support litigation, disputes, or compliance matters?

Valuation professionals provide expert opinions, fairness or solvency analyses, and support in disputes or regulatory contexts, offering credible substantiation of value in contentious settings.
