Overview
BACKGROUND INFORMATIONThis webinar replaces the previous event titled “Top 5 common pitfalls in a valuation”, and will focus specifically on emerging valuation considerations in the current Covid-19 scenario. While valuation exercises remain a key discipline in business studies and practice, there are clear challenges being faced by various business lines, from businesses looking at redefining their business model, to auditors looking at impairment exercises, to tax authorities and other professionals. Valuation exercises will remain critical to decision-making and planning, including in the current trying environment.
OBJECTIVES OF THIS SESSIONThe session’s objective is to discuss and attempt to provide options for answering questions related to a typical valuation exercise, including questions related to discount rates, impairment exercises.
