Valuation Practice

Today’s innovative organisations are seeking to unlock greater value from existing assets and ongoing capital expenditures. At the same time, regulators request greater transparency through fair value reporting.

We can help you determine the value of your business and meet your valuation requirements.

PwC offers an integrated approach to helping you measure, analyse and report on a broad range of valuation issues, by bringing together professionals with extensive valuation, technical accounting, corporate finance, tax, and deal strategy expertise.

Independent Value Assessment

All business decisions impact value, but do you know by how much? Applying a value lens to your most important business decisions brings stakeholder value impacts into clearer focus to help.

When the link between a management decision and the potential value impact must be clearly illuminated, PwC’s valuation practice can help. 

  • You need to value the different business units of your company in the context of a disposal;
  • You need to value standalone subsidiaries in view of a potential transaction; and
  • You need to open up the share capital of your company and determine the entry price or capital injection requirements.

Our integrated approach

We can help you:

  • Unlock greater value from existing assets and ongoing capital expenditures;
  • Assess objectively deal value of new acquisitions and investments; 
  • Minimise value leakage;
  • Adhering to fair value reporting for regulators;
  • Understand the importance of IFRS9 compliance and impairment testing.

Managing Deal Value

A majority of deals do not create value for buyers. "Buy low, sell high" is often clouded by a lack of focus on the gap between price and value. Dealmakers will freely acknowledge that bias and conflicts of interest play a role, but many other factors lead to value leakage during a deal process.

  • You need to analyse the value of acquisitions and new investments;
  • You want to understand the source and validity of synergies arising from your transaction; and
  • You need to value separate entities which are considering an amalgamation.

     

Financial Reporting Valuation

Delivering regulatory valuations that investors and regulators can trust, demands capabilities beyond finance. 

Equally important is a thorough knowledge of relevant accounting and tax regulations, and an understanding of sector issues driving operating performance. 

  • You need to undertake a purchase price allocation for a recent acquisition or a pre-deal assessment of the impact on earnings of a potential deal;
  • You need a valuation of shares to account for share-based payments;
  • You need to value financial assets (e.g. unquoted investments) and financial liabilities; and
  • You need advice on the impairment testing of goodwill or other assets.
