Get answers to common questions about Expert Witness and Independent Expert Reports.
An Independent Expert Report (IER) is a detailed assessment of a proposed corporate transaction. It is an objective evaluation, giving shareholders the assurance they need to make informed decisions. An IER is a reliable source of information that evaluates whether a transaction is fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of shareholders.
IERs are often needed in situations involving significant corporate transactions such as mergers, acquisitions, takeovers, capital reorganisations, or transactions involving related parties. Regulatory bodies like the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) typically require IERs to ensure compliance with corporate governance standards.
At Olvera Advisors, we adopt a meticulous approach to preparing Independent Expert Reports. Our process begins with a deep understanding of the proposed transaction, followed by a detailed analysis of the entities involved and their industries. We then conduct a comprehensive valuation of the securities involved in the transaction, ensuring that our clients receive a fair and reasonable evaluation.
Our IERs are comprehensively done and include a summary of the proposed transaction, an analysis of the entities involved, a review of the trading history, and an evaluation of the benefits and disadvantages of the transaction. We also provide a detailed valuation of the securities involved and an expert opinion on the fairness and reasonableness of the transaction.
We understand the importance of regulatory compliance in corporate transactions. As such, all IERs are prepared in accordance with the guidelines set by ASIC and other regulatory bodies, providing shareholders with confidence that the information they receive is accurate, independent, and compliant with all relevant regulations.
