4 Trending Topics PCAOB and Audit Issues For FY 2011, PCAOB found fault with a significant number of public company audits inspected. Involves eight major US audit firms Error rates ranged from 22.6% to 61.5% Relates to documentaaon PCAOB sees deficiencies in the valua5on process with respect to: Share- based payments Fair value measurements Business combinaaons and impairment of intangible assets PCAOB sees limited improvements in its review of 2012 and 2013 inspec5on results. 4
5 Trending Topics Addi5onal Valua5on Support As a result of PCAOB s increased scruany, auditors now require valuaaon firms and client management to provide greater support for: Impairment TesAng Tax vs. Stock Deal AVriAon Rates Customers ConAngent ConsideraAon Control Premium Finite vs. Indefinite- Lived Assets DeterminaAon of Primary Asset Obsolescence Factor - Technology 5
6 Trending Topics Ongoing Evolu5on of US Financial Repor5ng Q Q Q Q Q PCC and FAF began creaang financial reporang alternaaves for private companies. AICPA released Financial ReporAng Framework for Small- and Medium- Sized EnAAes. PCC proposed several changes to private company accounang for business combinaaons & impairment tesang. FASB officially endorsed PCC s proposed changes for private company impairment tesang. FASB issued an exposure drac to reduce the complexity of development- stage enaty financial reporang. 6
7 Trending Topics Intangibles Valua5ons and Financial Repor5ng In June 2013, PCC proposed several changes to GAAP for private company accounang. The changes exempt private companies from needing to separately recognize certain intangible assets acquired in a business combinaaon. They only need to recognize intangibles arising from noncancelable contractual terms or from other legal rights. In November 2013, FASB issued an exposure drac to reduce the complexity of development- stage enaty financial reporang. The following GAAP requirements were eliminated: Need to present incepaon- to- date informaaon on the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholders equity Need to label the financial statements as those of a development- stage enaty. Need to disclose a descripaon of the development- stage acaviaes in which the enaty is engaged Need to disclose in the first year in which the enaty is no longer a development- stage enaty that in prior years it had been in the development stage 7
8 Trending Topics Impairment Tes5ng Part 1 In October 2013, PCC sent several proposed changes on GAAP for private company accounang to FASB for endorsement. The changes allow for amorazaaon of goodwill and a simplified goodwill impairment tesang model. Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test would be eliminated, and private companies could measure goodwill impairment using Step 1 only. In addiaon, goodwill would be: - Tested for impairment only when a triggering event occurs - Tested for impairment at the enaty level as compared to the reporang unit level - AmorAzed over the life of the primary asset (typically < 10 years) In November 2013, FASB officially endorsed proposed changes to goodwill impairment tesang. Changes were incorporated into GAAP in January 2014 and will become effecave for private company reporang in December
9 Trending Topics Impairment Tes5ng Part 2 Cause of impairment tesang differences around the world (GAAP vs IFRS) US GAAP IFRS Rules-Based Accounting Approach vs. Principles-Based Accounting Approach Goodwill tested for impairment via two-step fair value test One-step goodwill impairment test, has both a fair value aspect and an asset-recoverability aspect FASB s issuance of step zero qualitaave assessment did introduce an element of a principles- based approach under US GAAP. IASB and FASB are conanuing their decade- long work to converge IFRS and US GAAP. Converging goodwill impairment accounang does not appear to be a near- term project. 9
10 Trending Topics IFRS Complex Accoun5ng Issues Fair Value IFRS 13, effecave January 1, 2013, addresses inconsistencies in the determinaaon and disclosure of fair value measurements under current IFRS. Control Under IFRS 10, to determine control, enaaes are required to make a detailed assessment based on substance, instead of whether or not an investor has a majority of equity holding in an investee. Business Combina5ons IFRS 3 revised in Requires the idenaficaaon of the acquirer, measuring the consideraaon transferred, the assets acquired and the liabiliaes assumed, and calculaang goodwill and any noncontrolling interests Impairment Standard IAS 36 focuses on the term recoverable amount. Requires enaaes to recognize an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying amount of a business enaty or asset exceeds that enaty s or asset s recoverable amount. Note: In September 2013, DeloiVe issued a white paper clarifying certain key issues in IFRS and its latest updates. 10
11 Trending Topics Business Enterprise and Equity Valua5ons What is Control Premium? Strategic Value Ocen Combined Strategic Premium Controlling Interest Value Premium For Control Minority Interest Discount Marketable Minority Interest Value Discount for Lack of Marketability Nonmarketable Minority Interest Value 11
12 Trending Topics Business Enterprise and Equity Valua5ons Recent News In April 2013, the Appraisal FoundaAon issued a discussion drac on the measurement and applicaaon of Market ParAcipant AcquisiAon Premiums ( MPAPs ), commonly referred to as control premiums. Some conclusions from this drac are as follows: Best pracaces include expressing as well as applying the MPAP in the context of a TIC foundaaon. Exclusive reliance on observed premium data from completed transacaons provides insufficient support for a concluded MPAP. MPAPs should be supported by reference to either enhanced cash flows or a lower required return from a market paracipant s perspecave. Benefits will not in all instances be reliably idenafiable, in such cases resulang in either no, or a small, premium. 12
13 Trending Topics Business Enterprise and Equity Valua5ons Evolu5on of Views on Appropriate Control Premium to Apply Old Way Terminology: Control Premium Methodology: Avg. Historical TransacAons Methodology: Use Mergermarket, Bloomberg, Capital IQ as sources for transacaons Terminology: MPAP New Way Methodology: QuanAfy Synergy Methodology: Calculate value of the enterprise assuming market paracipant discount rate and levels of growth/ profitability. Drawbacks of Historical Transac5on Data Available data on past transacaons can be limited Market condiaons at the Ame of a transacaon can have substanaal influence on control premiums (e.g., business cycle, compeaave environment, scarcity of the asset). Past transacaons are rarely directly comparable; every transacaon has its own set of unique circumstances (i.e., target companies with high levels of leverage ocen command lower control premiums than companies with lower levels of leverage, all else being equal). 13
14 Trending Topics Valua5ons for Tax Repor5ng In November 2013, the AICPA issued a white paper on Sec. 6695A of the Internal Revenue Code. The IRS was given new responsibiliaes to ensure the quality of appraisals and appraisers who provided informaaon in support of a taxpayer s federal tax filings: The IRS imposes penalaes on appraisals that lead to substanaal and gross valuaaon misstatements on returns. The AICPA and three other major business appraiser organizaaons are recognized by the IRS as having generally accepted appraisal standards. The IRS Appraisal Review Process is a formal system whereby the IRS reviews appraisals that have been idenafied as problemaac. IRS examiners ocen request the assistance of valuaaon experts to analyze an appraisal. The IRS s Office of Professional Responsibility may take acaon against an appraiser and the appraiser s firm for violaang professional standards. AutomaAc IRS audits can be triggered when the same firm conducts tax and valuaaon on behalf of a client. 14
