Purchase Accounting

Accounting for most business combinations involves a complex process of valuing acquired intangible assets and elements of purchase consideration. Commonly identified intangibles include developed technology, customer relationships, and trade names. Valuations may also be required for machinery and equipment, real estate, and inventory.  Additionally, purchase consideration may necessitate valuations of debt, equity, or earn-outs offered to the seller.
