financial reporting valuations

With the increase in M&A transactions and other corporate initiatives like stock options and investments, valuation issues have become increasingly important considerations in corporate business operations.

Further, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) continue to emerge as global standards for public companies across geographical locations. Professional accounting bodies in several countries are developing GAAP frameworks based on IFRS.
