Valuations of intellectual property

Companies have been increasingly adding intellectual property to their balance sheet. Subsequently, it has become necessary to ensure accurate valuation of Intellectual Property (brands, and trademarks, amongst others).

Tax valuation

Valuations often lie at the heart of disputes and negotiations with tax authorities. Our teams of dedicated specialists understand the demands of the tax authorities and provide expert knowledge of the latest valuation techniques combined with clearly documented advice. Tax valuation entails:

  • producing detailed and comprehensive documents capable of being submitted to the relevant authorities;
  • valuing intangible assets for Transfer Pricing purposes; and
  • optimising transactions to ensure that all tax implications are being considered

Accounting valuations (PPA and impairment test)

IAS and IFRS introduce significant changes to the way that accounts must be prepared and presented, requiring a wider range of assets to be valued on an annual basis. PwC’s valuation services draw on considerable technical and financial specialisation, whilst being able to access accounting specialists to deliver integrated advice to our clients. Our services entail supporting our clients in:

  • Purchase Price Allocations;
  • Testing for impairment; and
  • Financial instrument valuations for financial reporting purposes.

Property valuations

The real estate team has considerable experience in conducting appraisals of real estate asset types in accordance with European valuation standards, including office blocks, retail malls, residential properties, as well as mixed-use commercial and residential blocks. We assist clients in preparing and reviewing valuations of real estate assets for the purposes of financial reporting, investment analysis and appraisal, divisions and mergers, and transactions, amongst others.

Independent expert opinions

PwC’s services provide the appropriate level of independence in all circumstances. We draw on considerable economic and commercial specialisation to ensure that our opinions are delivered to the most robust standards of objectivity and independence. We are appointed by the courts and the regulatory authorities to provide independent, expert opinions relating to value. We also assist non-executive directors and audit committees to address their governance obligations by providing independent support of the valuations inherent in their verification of accounts and reports.
