Valuations

A reliable and accurate valuation is essential to make informed decisions, transact at appropriate values or achieve a fair and commercial outcome.
Finding fair value

Valuations are required by businesses and individuals in a range of circumstances, including financial reporting, tax, transactions and litigation. A reliable and accurate valuation is crucial for making informed decisions, transacting at appropriate values and, in litigation matters, achieving a fair and commercial outcome.

Whether it’s a matrimonial or shareholder’s dispute, or a loss of profits claim, the argument will often focus on value: the value of the business, the value of assets, the value that is being given up by one of the parties. Obtaining expert independent valuation and forensics advice early in the process is integral to potentially alleviating significant legal costs associated with drawn-out disputes.

The value of expert advice

Previously, any accountant could dabble in valuation advice. However, the industry is now increasingly recognised as a specialised service and faces closer scrutiny through regulation. Specific valuation standards, known as APES 225 Valuation Services, govern quality requirements for valuations which demand expert skills. 

Our valuations specialists have extensive experience in determining the appropriate values and outcomes for all stakeholders, supported by robust research and analysis, as well as a comprehensive understanding of commercial factors and their impact on value.
