M&A Accounting
The accounting of a company purchase or sale (so-called purchase price allocation (PPA)): the often forgotten detail!
A M&A transaction will affect your balance sheet! We use existing accounting options to optimize the balance sheet structure and we have the necessary expertise to evaluate intangible assets, such as trademark rights, contract portfolios and customer bases. We are capable to identify and forecast the potential effects as early as the due diligence phase as part of an pre-deal indicative PPA.
Impairment-only approach (according national and International accounting standards)
The impairment test of goodwill remains one of the most important accounting issues to be assessed under German accounting standards (HGB) and under international accounting standards (IFRS).
Reporting Enforcement Panel (DPR) in recent years makes it necessary to specify standard specifications through a company-specific approach. We create clarity for the management and the Chief Financial Officers (CFO) with regard to the parameters, valuation approaches and scope and possible depreciation risks and reserves and ensure that the audit of the annual financial statements is prepared accordingly.
