      In many business valuations, a large proportion of the effort is expended before the actual analysis begins: on gathering the data and ensuring it remains consistent across different valuation scenarios. Cost-of-capital parameters, market information and multiples often come from different sources and are processed in separate applications.

      This results in data inconsistencies, redundant steps and numerous manual processes. Added to this are increasing demands for transparency, quality and traceability of the results.


      An integrated ecosystem for modern business valuations

      The KPMG Valuation Cloud brings together up-to-date valuation data, digital applications and KPMG’s long-standing valuation expertise on a single central platform. Rather than using data sources and tools in isolation, users work within an environment that covers the entire valuation process: from identifying relevant valuation parameters right through to impairment tests. All applications draw on the same data and methodological framework. This makes valuation processes more consistent and easier to trace.

      The KPMG Valuation Cloud brings together:

      • Quality-assured cost of capital, peer group and valuation data
      • Market and transaction multiples for well-founded valuation analyses
      • Digital solutions for business valuations and impairment tests
      • KPMG’s long-standing valuation expertise and methodological standards

      Digital support at every stage of the transaction

      Business valuations require consistent data, transparent methodologies and efficient processes at every stage of a transaction. The KPMG Valuation Cloud brings together three elements within an integrated ecosystem.

      The KPMG Valuation Data Source provides the necessary data foundation for valuation parameters and market information. KPMG Multiples enables valuations based on market and transaction multiples. Finally, KPMG Impairment Test allows impairment tests to be carried out efficiently and consistently.

      In this way, the KPMG Valuation Cloud supports companies from the initial valuation through the transaction to post-deal regulatory and accounting requirements.
