In today’s rapidly evolving financial landscape, businesses face mounting pressure to accurately assess their financial instruments, manage risks and optimise investment strategies.
Rapid shifts in market conditions create uncertainty and make the determination of an accurate fair value of assets difficult. Valuation of securities, derivatives, and private equity poses complex challenges due to regulatory compliance, market volatility, and a need for accurate and reliable data. There is a necessity for transparency, consistent methodologies, and robust techniques. At the same time, financial risk management and financial reporting are crucial aspects of financial operations for sustainable growth.
The KPMG Financial Instruments team offers customised solutions to help banks, financial institutions, and asset management companies respond to the changing circumstances of global markets:
- We support clients in determining the value of financial instruments ranging from simple and liquid instruments up to bespoke and complex instruments, along with assisting in the determination of a fair value hierarchy for securities.
- Our team also offers hedge accounting testing of derivative instruments along with analysis of the accounting treatment and helps clients design their hedge accounting strategies to increase the efficiency of the hedging relationships.
- On the private equity front, we aid in business valuation, purchase price allocation, impairment testing, interest rate and incremental borrowing rate calculation, and share options valuation, in conjunction with the corporate finance team.
