Key Services for Financial Reporting Compliance

1. Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) – IFRS 3 / SFRS(I) 3

Post-acquisition financial reporting demands precise allocation of purchase prices to identifiable assets and liabilities. Valtech’s PPA services include:

• Intangible Asset Identification: Applying IAS 38 criteria to recognize trademarks, customer relationships, patents, and more.
• Business Model Analysis: Constructing models to assess Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and Weighted Average Return on Assets (WARA).
• Goodwill Validation: Performing reasonableness checks on goodwill or gains from bargain purchases.
• Contingent Consideration & Financial Instruments: Valuing earn-outs, profit guarantees, and other liabilities under IAS 37 and IAS 39.

2. Goodwill Impairment Testing – IAS 36

• Define Cash Generating Units (CGUs): Aligning the scope of the valuation model with the CGU’s asset structure is critical to ensure compliance with financial reporting standards. Our dual-qualified experts (auditing and valuation) offer strategic guidance to align CGU assessments with IAS and SFRS(I) requirements.
• Isolate CGU-Specific Cash Flows: We collaborate with management to pinpoint and segregate cash flows directly attributable to the CGU, ensuring accuracy in impairment testing.
• Recoverable Amount Evaluation: Determine the CGU’s recoverable amount through two approaches: 1) Fair Value Less Costs of Disposal (market-based assessment) and 2) Value-in-Use (discounted future cash flow analysis).

3. Portfolio Investment Valuation – IFRS 9 / SFRS(I) 9

Under prior practices, private fund managers often relied on historical investment costs to calculate Net Asset Value (NAV) for illiquid holdings, deferring revaluation until exit or liquidation events. However, IFRS 9 (effective 1 January 2018) mandates fair value measurement for such assets, eliminating historical cost as an acceptable proxy. This shift requires fund managers and investors to adopt regular NAV reassessments, significantly affecting financial reporting accuracy, fund valuation transparency, and performance metrics. Proactive adaptation to these standards is vital to mitigate compliance risks and financial statement volatility.

4. Asset & Intangible Asset Impairment

Valtech addresses sector-specific challenges:

• Inventories (IAS 2): Determining net realizable value to avoid overstatement.
• Biological Assets (IAS 41): Leveraging expert insights on species, health, age, and quality for accurate valuations.
