      Understanding client struggles & addressing key pain points

      Collecting valuation data takes too long

      Many valuation teams spend significant time gathering information from multiple sources and validating inputs. KPMG Valuation Data Source centralizes key data and calculations in one platform, improving efficiency and reducing research effort.

      Defending assumptions to stakeholders

      Auditors, investors and management teams increasingly require transparent and well-supported valuation assumptions. KPMG Valuation Data Source helps strengthen documentation and increase confidence in valuation outputs.

      Valuation assumptions lack consistency

      Different teams or advisors often apply different assumptions, resulting in inconsistencies across projects. The platform helps establish a standardized and repeatable valuation methodology.

      Building relevant peer groups is challenging

      Identifying suitable comparable companies can be difficult and time-consuming. Users can create, customize and maintain peer groups using a large database of companies across industries and geographies.

      Documentation and governance requirements

      Organizations need clear audit trails and support for valuation decisions. The platform enables consistent documentation and communication of valuation methodologies and assumptions.

      Market conditions change
      rapidly

      Valuation inputs can quickly become outdated. Regularly updated data helps organizations maintain current assumptions and reflect changing market conditions.
