Valuation Process

Valuation can be used for various purposes, such as financial reporting, tax planning, M&A, or litigation. The valuation approach and methodology can differ based on the intended purpose

Understand the purpose
of the valuation

Gather relevant data and
information

The valuation process requires collecting data on the asset or company being valued, as well as data on the market and industry. The data should be reliable, up-to-date, and relevant to the valuation purpose.

There are different methods for valuation, such as discounted cash flow, comparable company analysis and precedent transactions analysis. The method chosen should align with the nature of the asset or company being valued.

Choose the appropriate
valuation method

Valuation should consider the risk factors associated with the asset or company, such as market risk, liquidity risk, and operational risk. These risk factors can impact the valuation outcome.

Assess risk factors

Review and analyze the
valuation results

After conducting the valuation, it's important to review and analyze the results, identify any anomalies or inconsistencies, and ensure the conclusions are reasonable and supported by the data.

Valuation requires a systematic and well-documented process, including assumptions made, data used, and the rationale behind the chosen methodology. Documentation can help support the valuation conclusions and withstand scrutiny.
