Cross-border equity plans can create a complex web of valuation requirements, especially when companies must align US 409A valuations, Indian merchant banker reports, and fair value measurements under ASC 718 or IFRS 2.

In this session, we’ll explore the most common mistakes companies make when managing global equity valuations across multiple entities and jurisdictions. Using practical examples and firsthand lessons from issuers operating internationally, attendees will gain a clearer understanding of how to approach fair market value versus fair value assessments, avoid audit and compliance issues, and strengthen their readiness for the next reporting cycle.
 

KEY LEARNING POINTS:

  • Explain common valuation challenges in multi-entity and cross-border structures, including volatility, peer groups, discounts, and PWERM.
  • Describe common audit and compliance risks, including stale valuations, missed material events, and unsupported assumptions.
  • Define practical lessons and best practices for managing cross-border equity plans and audit readiness.
