Our many years as a member of the Professional Committee for Business Valuation and Administration (FAUB) and its predecessor, the Business Valuation Task Force (AKU), at the Institute of Public Auditors (IDW) mean that we play a significant role in developing new standards for business valuation in Germany.
Major-name reference projects in many different valuations for corporate investments and corporate transformations have drawn on the high levels of trust placed in us by our clients and by the courts, for whom we serve as fairness auditors or court-appointed auditors. Our network connections with leading business law firms and our in-depth analyses of the relevant case law ensure that our work reflects the current laws on business valuations. Our opinions on issues of valuation have appeared in a wide variety of publications and lectures.
