Working with information provided by management, we utilize state-of-the-art methodologies to determine fair values and guide you through the process, ensuring complicated transactions are properly recorded and supportable. Regulations prohibit your auditor from performing this work or even helping you do it, but SC&H can.

SFAS 142 Goodwill Impairment Test

If you have goodwill included on your balance sheet from a previous acquisition, you need correct information to support the value of the asset, as your auditor will require an annual test of impairment. Our valuation experts excel because of their experience in working with auditors and their ability to support their work.

SFAS 144 Long-Lived Asset Impairment

Long-lived assets are must be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. SC&H experts have the knowledge and experience to assist you in determining whether such an impairment test is required, and if so, whether a loss has occurred.
