From New York to London: How Accounting Rules Reshape Value

Valuation is universal in theory but local in practice. A discounted cash flow model in New York may look identical to one in London — yet once accounting rules, tax laws, and regulatory frameworks are applied, the results diverge sharply. This webinar explores how global valuation methods intersect with local standards such as US GAAP, IFRS, and FRS 102, and what executives, CFOs, and valuation professionals must consider when deals, employee equity awards, or financial reporting cross borders. Through practical examples and case studies, we will examine how treatment of PPE, R&D, goodwill, revenue recognition, leases, and share-based payments affects reported value. We will also explore how US 409A valuations reconcile with UK reporting frameworks, and why a single share transfer can trigger parallel — but not identical — valuations across jurisdictions. Attendees will gain actionable insights into reconciling competing standards, managing cross-border assumptions, and ensuring valuations remain credible to regulators, auditors, and stakeholders worldwide.
