Business Valuation

Changes in regulatory requirements, local jurisdictions rules, tax reporting, investments, and other business needs require an objective and independent assessment of value. Regulatory bodies – such as, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), International Accounting Standards Board (IAS), etc. – establish a variety of implementation guidance with business and asset valuation implications, while the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other global tax authorities impose new reporting rules with tax valuation implications, transfer pricing and related work.

As a market provider of valuation services, CPCON has more than 25 valuation practitioners, who routinely assist clients with the development of certain input into the value measurement – such as, the cost of capital, discount, premiums (etc.). Based on your business requirements and use of the valuation, CPCON works with you to utilize from appropriate methodologies and tailor the business valuation to satisfy your specific needs and purpose of the engagement, as well as providing clients with litigation support as an expert witness. These valuation methods include the cost, market and income (DCF) approaches. While the market and cost approaches depend on available and comparable information regarding the subject business (or assets) and its market to measure value, the income approach measures value by estimating the present value of future cash flows of the enterprise.
