Professional independent valuations are highly desirable, with an increasing necessity for objective opinions. Reliance can be placed where there are compliance requirements, transaction negotiations, commercial and investment decisions and on accounting issues.
The valuation process is complex, and is affected by various external matters such as market data, regulation and legislation, as well as internal issues including the disclosures used in the report and the required level of confidence. For these reasons, it is important that a qualified and experienced adviser is chosen, ensuring a structured and efficient valuation is prepared.
