This webinar will provide an introduction to purchase price allocations and the valuation of intangible assets in the context of business combination accounting. Attendees will learn an overview of the accounting frameworks relating to purchase price allocations, considerations for the measurement of the fair value of purchase consideration in a transaction, the criteria for identifying intangible assets, and commonly used valuation methodologies for various types of intangible assets. The workshop will highlight – through a live case study – the common mechanical aspects of valuation analysis typically included in a valuation engagement for financial reporting purposes.

Note: This webinar is intended to be introductory in nature and to serve as a primer for CBVs and CBV students who have little to no practice experience in the area of purchase price allocations.
