4 VALUATION SERVICES Based on our in-depth knowledge of fair value measurement concepts, we understand how the requirements of fair valuation measurement for financial reporting purposes may differ from valuations for tax purposes Familiarity with Regulatory Requirements KPMG has extensive experience working with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), Internal Revenue Service (IRS), principal court jurisdictions, and comparable regulatory bodies in many other countries. Our broad experience can help you better understand how these regulatory authorities could potentially view your positions on valuation issues. We also can help you resolve questions and respond to comment letters. Since the introduction of FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (originally issued as FASB Statement 141R) and FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (originally issued as FASB Statement 142), a significant focus of valuation work has been on the application and implementation of these acquisition accounting and goodwill impairment requirements. KPMG professionals have worked with many FORTUNE 100 companies on valuation issues associated with business combinations and goodwill impairment implementations. The ability to gain timely insight from our in-house review partners better positions us to support management in its application of the standards. We also routinely interface with accounting and tax professionals from other Big Four accounting firms and are in regular contact with the FASB and SEC. Based on our in-depth knowledge of fair value measurement concepts, we understand how the requirements of fair valuation measurement for financial reporting purposes may differ from valuations for tax purposes. This understanding is critical to successful completion of large financial reporting and tax valuation projects and is often an area where substantive issues can arise.
