Ethics – Discussion Post

 

 I agree that here may be a need to secure services of a forensic account to perform a business valuation of a publicly traded company .  IN addtion the  three methods of evaluation are:

Asset-based approach—This type of valuation is used to value asset-intensive businesses such as retail and manufacturing. The focus is on what the equipment and real estate are worth.

Income approach—This type of valuation is useful for service companies. The focus is on how much money a buyer can make from the business.

Market approach—This type of valuation looks at what the market is paying for similar businesses and is used to value many different types of businesses. The focus is on the marketplace: what others have paid for similar companies.

Briefly discuss  the best practices of gathering information.
