Acquiring companies
Acquiring companies is one of the most important strategies for growth in established markets and for launching one’s company onto new markets. The next step of great importance for the transaction is integrating an acquired company or one’s own company in a new partnership. From an accounting perspective, it is quite a difficult task for the purchaser to integrate the reporting of a company acquired.
The challenges begin right from the start in how the acquisition of the acquired company is accounted for. Simply the task of identifying and valuing intangible assets poses a major challenge for you as the acquirer, who is, by law, required to recognise them on your balance sheet, as well as for the acquired company. It is important to consider both the complex measurement and accounting issues as well as the particularities specific to the industry within the accounting framework.
