Undertaking a Purchase Price Allocation (PPA)

In accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), our client wanted to allocate the purchase price of this transaction to the assets and liabilities of the company they acquired. They therefore engaged us to help them:

  • Identify the intangible assets of the company.
  • Estimate the fair value of these intangible assets as well as the tangible assets such as property, plant and equipment.
  • Estimate the useful lives of both tangible and intangible assets.

We started our work in the beginning of June and delivered our initial findings by mid-July. By the end of August we had issued our final report, signing off all our conclusions with our client's management team. During September we dealt with queries about our findings from their auditors.
