Changing pricing strategy, purchase price allocation and new financial reporting rules 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 and new financial reporting rules with intangible 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.
