For Small and Medium-sized Accounting Practices
The use and importance of fair value measurement have been increasing in today’s financial reporting environment. Audits of fair value measurement are demanding and challenging because valuations typically involve significant professional judgment, inputs, and estimates adopted by management or third-party valuation professionals.
Given the strong emphasis on fair value measurement in current times and its significant impact on financial statements, audit practitioners may encounter business valuation issues and challenges. It is therefore imperative for audit practices today to ensure that sound processes are in place and resources are appropriately managed to handle valuation-related matters on financial reporting requirements.
Jointly created by Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA), and Savills, our Business Valuation Best Practices programme is specially curated for directors/audit practitioners of SMPs to equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively set up and manage a business valuation practice.
