Hi everyone,
The holiday season is around the corner and hope you are all keeping healthy! This week’s blog looks at a recent article published in September 2021 by Drs. Broekema, Perepechko, and Rabel. Their article addressed the role of valuation standards and its impact on valuation trustworthiness from the perspective of executives as end-users of valuation work. In their academic research, they presented a comprehensive list of valuation organizations which have their own valuation standards. Consequently, the authors conducted surveys directed to these financial end-users of valuation reports to ascertain their opinions as to whether there is a need for such a myriad of valuation standards. In general, the survey results showed a strong consensus among the end-users that business valuation standards should be uniformed and harmonized across the world and that ideally, there should be only one independent standard setter. Furthermore, the end-users also perceived a need for harmonization with valuation approaches and specific valuation parameters such as the discount rates when applying a DCF model. Until next time………………………
