Frequently Asked Questions
Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) requires identifying and fair-valuing all assets and liabilities of an acquired business including intangibles that aren’t on the seller’s balance sheet. The accounting standard (ASC 805) is complex, the timelines are tight, and errors can surface in audits or restatements. Getting it right the first time saves significant time, cost, and credibility.
Yes. If your auditors are pushing back on your PPA methodology or intangible asset identification, Alliance can step in to support the position development, documentation, and auditor dialogue.
