We will start by discussing the purpose of a PPA and its key elements, including the identification of&nbsp;assets acquired, how a purchase price is allocated across assets acquired,&nbsp;and&nbsp;how to avoid extensive questioning from auditors and the SEC. We will also discuss the&nbsp;purpose and key elements of&nbsp;a fairness opinion, including the scope of the work, the valuation methodologies&nbsp;used, and the conclusion of the valuation professional. This session is designed to provide you with the information&nbsp;needed&nbsp;to understand PPAs and&nbsp;fairness opinions,&nbsp;and to identify&nbsp;potential red flags that could&nbsp;prolong the financial reporting process or lead to shareholder disputes.&nbsp;&nbsp;Speaker's Bio:&nbsp;Andy Frew, Vice President, has&nbsp;nearly 25&nbsp;years of business valuation experience.
