"I am pleased to see this publication. Having known two of the authors for many years and employed their firm on many complex projects in the past, I am confident in their abilities. The intricacies of the topics mandate completeness of coverage in a succinct (impossible to be simple) manner if the reader is to grasp the true value. They've done that here."

"Through this Guide, valuation experts, auditors, and preparers of financial statements alike will acquire the necessary skills to meet the rigors of FASB's new pronouncements on fair value and business combinations, specifically Sfas 141r, Sfas 160, And Sfas 157. The guide examines these 'principle-based' pronouncements, their particular nuances, and their relationship to one another in a clear and concise manner. Finally, the Guide applies these principles learned to a business combination case study that encompasses the specialized valuation techniques for valuing tangible assets, intangible assets, and liabilities."

"This Guide will be of immense value to anyone who actually has to perform a Purchase Price Allocation for a business combination. The authors start with the FASB's own statements. They then explain the language in the statements in a way that will allow the reader to meet the actual requirements. With this Guide, the mystery has been removed for preparers of company's financial statements to comply with the applicable FASB statements. Recommended unreservedly."
