A definitive guide to valuing private equity investments fairly.
The impetus for valuing and reporting assets is greater than ever. The FASB and IASB have harmonised and changed fair value rules, and regulations in the US and Europe mandate the application of the accounting standard known as ‘mark to market’ or ‘fair value’.
Written by Duff & Phelps, Private Equity Valuation is a must-have publication for all professionals buying, selling and valuing private equity assets. It provides fund managers and investors with valuable tools, practical guidance and illustrative examples on valuation techniques and nuances for various assets and scenarios.
