Services
Equity Methods has helped companies with assumed awards from large and small acquisitions. We can help you in the following areas:
- Develop and deploy a lattice model to appropriately value options assumed in a business combination, especially in cases where the Black-Scholes formula is not compliant
- Perform detailed, grant-level valuations of assumed awards, enabling a robust bifurcation between consideration transferred and post-combination expense
- Meet with your auditors before the conversion to discuss our approach and afterward to provide detailed backup, minimizing audit headaches even in a complex and time-compressed transaction
- Assist with bifurcation between amounts allocated to goodwill and go-forward expense, create expense waterfalls or forecasts for estimating future impact, or even handle the unique ongoing reporting for assumed awards via our financial reporting practice
Get a complex situation under control without taking on simplifying assumptions or other audit risks.
