However, providing an accurate, up-to-date value of your shareholdings or company means that, in addition to looking at past accounting data, you’ll need to conduct extensive research to factor in other info not found in accounting records.
For example, if your company’s goodwill has increased significantly in recent months, marked by rising revenue, this would not have been captured in the latest financial statements. Furthermore, the value of goodwill is very subjective that it isn’t part of a normal accounting routine to keep track of it.
