Overview
This module focuses on the application of valuation in transaction contexts, equipping participants with the skills to analyse and compare different types of valuation, including open market versus notional, and public versus private company shares.
Learners will apply International Valuation Standards and leading guidelines such as the IPEV and Intangible Assets valuation frameworks, while gaining hands-on practice with the three core approaches — market, income, and asset-based — and their associated methodologies. The module also explores the technical and practical challenges of each approach, highlighting their advantages, limitations, and appropriate use. In addition, participants will examine the principles underpinning valuations in both public and private company contexts, including regulatory considerations, discounts, and premiums, preparing them to deliver robust and defensible valuations in real-world transactional settings.
