Description

Are you assisting clients who are selling or buying mid-size companies? We'll examine the accountant advisor's essential role in drafting and structuring purchase-price adjustment mechanisms, due diligence and accounting for transactions. We'll also review considerations such as buyer/seller perspectives and preferences, letters of intent, significant components of definitive purchase agreements, and the high-level tax considerations of buyers/sellers-including the implications of Section 338(h)(10) elections. Get ready to explore the M&A process from non-disclosure agreements to post-closing operations, focusing on the CPA's role and ways to help clients.
