Principles of Private Firm Valuation combines recent academic research and practical real-world experience to help readers better understand the multitude of factors that determine private firm value. For the financial professionals serving private firms–who are increasingly being called upon to give advice on issues related to firm valuation and deal structure–this comprehensive guide discusses critical topics, including how firms create value and how to measure it; valuing control; determining the size of the marketability discount; creating transparency and the implications for value; the value of tax pass-through entities versus a C corporation; determining transaction value; and the valuation implications of FASB 141R (purchase price accounting), and 142 (goodwill impairment).
