Financial Reporting Transactions

During the past few years a move towards fair value accounting has taken place, mainly led by provisions of IndAS, IFRS and US GAAP. With the use of fair value, financial reporting becomes even more complex as there are few assets and liabilities where a market value can’t be readily established. Instead, companies and their auditors need to rely on valuation models that involve the application of methods and assumptions that can be highly judgmental. Our Financial Reporting Valuation practice covers below segments

  • Purchase Price Allocations under US GAAP/IFRS/Indian GAAP
  • Goodwill and Intangible Asset Impairment analyses
  • Shares Based Payments and ESOPs
  • Contingent asset and Liability
  • Tangible asset
  • Intangible and Intellectual Property
