Major audit firms have recommended that companies rely on an independent resource for developing fair values for financial instruments. The methodology for obtaining reliable fair values that conform to US GAAP is critical because auditors are tasked with auditing fair values that are produced for financial statements.

The development of a consistent framework for fair values of various instruments, particularly stock options, and derivative instruments, is evolving. There are a number of technical issues and academic aspects of fair value modeling that require input from industry, academia, and FASB sponsored task forces.

Our methodologies are consistent with the latest FASB standards, policy approaches of the national practice offices of US accounting firms. We provide objective valuations and guidance on accounting applications, with no strings attached. Working with FASB, industry groups, and the national audit firms, we employ approaches to valuation that incorporate the accounting and industry consensus.
