Such deep analytical competencies are critical in the areas of transfer pricing, valuation, and economic analysis. KPMG LLP (KPMG) is the only Big Four firm that incorporates these capabilities into a single practice—Economic & Valuation Services (EVS)—allowing our professionals to deliver a broad set of services to help our clients succeed in the ever-changing global marketplace.
As one of the leading providers of the following services, KPMG's EVS practice helps clients make forward-thinking decisions about strategy, operations, and compliance to create long-lasting value:
Transfer Pricing
In an increasingly global business environment, many multinationals see national borders as less and less of an impediment to conducting business. In response, many fiscal authorities appear to be defending their national tax bases more vigorously with detailed transfer pricing regulations, strict documentation requirements, sophisticated audit practices, and significant penalties for noncompliance. Transfer pricing has, therefore, become a vitally important issue for many global companies. EVS Transfer Pricing professionals help companies effectively and efficiently manage their transfer pricing.
Valuation & Business Modeling Services
With more than 400 professionals located in over 20 U.S. markets, the Valuation & Business Modeling Services practice assists companies in the areas of valuation, financial projections, financial analysis, and modeling support. Given our extensive knowledge in the valuation of businesses, intangible assets, real estate, personal property, debt, and complex securities, we can value nearly any asset, liability, or derivative instrument. Our professionals also have significant experience in performing in-depth operational and financial analyses that can benefit clients in various situations.
Economic & Statistical Consulting
EVS Economic & Statistical Consulting (ES) professionals can provide advanced economic and statistical insights to help both private and public sector clients quantify expected risks, analyze potential costs and benefits, evaluate alternatives, and develop defensible quantitative measures for decision-making or controversy matters. ES professionals apply sophisticated analyses and modeling techniques to help clients address today's critical business issues in public policy analysis, performance analysis, and statistical sampling and analysis.
Intellectual Property Consulting
In today’s knowledge-based economy, intellectual property (IP) assets are at the core of value creation and are recognized as the primary driver of the economy. Companies recognize that they need to re-evaluate competencies and organizational capabilities to effectively manage these unique assets, in all registered and non-registered forms. The Intellectual Property Consulting practice has assembled a multi-disciplinary team that includes subject matter specialists with deep consulting and management experience to include technology specialists, along with economists, business analysts, finance, tax and accounting professionals to support our clients with these needs.
The EVS practice is made up of multidisciplinary, highly experienced professionals located in major cities throughout the United States. These resources are closely aligned with KPMG's audit, tax, and advisory professionals. Globally, we draw on the resources of KPMG International member firms to provide coordinated service to multinational clients.
Many of our professionals hold advanced degrees in economics, business, accounting, engineering, and related fields. And many are certified financial analysts or appraisers.
