A session at this week’s AICPA FVS conference discussed the recently released Draft Accounting and Valuation Guide, Business Combinations, which provides guidance and illustrations regarding the accounting and valuation considerations for business combination transactions. It addresses many accounting and valuation issues that have emerged over time and is designed to help preparers, auditors, and valuation specialists understand and comply with the requirements of FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations, and FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The AICPA is seeking comments, which are due by Jan. 15, 2023 (see the document for how to submit comments). To download the working draft, click here.
