Bloomsbury An Illustrated Guide to Business Valuation by BD CHATTERJEE Edition 2023

Description

In the complex world of business today, valuation has become an integral part in every sphere of day-to-day business activities. The term “fair value” is frequently used (and often misused) in each and every business transaction we enter into. The concept of “business valuation” in its various forms like historical cost, replacement value, net realisable value and present value are being used and interpreted to meet the requirements of varied and complex business transactions. On top of this, the onset of the pandemic, ongoing war in some parts of the world and climate change has thrown the business entities into a whirlwind of uncertainties and challenges and has pushed the business valuation exercise into uncharted territories.
