Introduction

This is the third time this seminar has been presented, the first being in April 2011. The focus in this “latest edition” is once again on explaining key accounting and valuation principles and practices and how they are applied in the context of relationship property law.

You can be excused for approaching the topic of valuation, and in particular, relationship property valuations with some degree of trepidation. Some of the financial theory and mathematics that underly the science and art of business and company valuations defy the desire for easily implemented solutions and answers. The theory and practice of business and company valuations challenges even the most knowledgeable of minds within the business, academic and legal communities.

Overlying the apparent complexity of “ordinary” valuations of companies and businesses is the added complexity arising from application of the principles and practices in a relationship property context. The additional considerations arising from the Property (Relationships) Act 1976 (PRA or the Act), case law and evolving issues which have yet to be judicially determined – present practitioners, legal and accounting, with a sometimes challenging mix.

It is not possible to turn you into an expert valuer in this seminar (and you probably don’t want to be one), but we will endeavour to explain the core elements of valuation theory, principle and practice to enable you to better perform your role as a practitioner in the field of relationship property law. Although the complexities, variations and nuances of valuation can be challenging, we hope this overview will provide you with helpful insights and practical tips.

During the seminar, we will first consider the role of financial statements in the exercise of valuation. These documents provide critical information about the financial state of an organisation in terms of the assets and liabilities it owns (balance sheet) and the profitability of its business (per the income statement).

Following that, we provide an overview of the theory and principles of business valuation and explain how these are applied in practice, and discuss some of the important nuances in the application that may help you better advise your clients.

Finally, we look at some specific relationship property related valuation issues including economic disparity and valuation of trusts, before finally offering some tips on how you might get the best from your expert.

This seminar deals with the valuation of businesses (whether the ownership structure is sole trader, partnership, company, trust or other form of ownership). It does not consider valuations of real property, plant and equipment or other such fixed assets.
