BRUSSELS, Belgium, 2013-05-29 16:30 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
The International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines Board
(IPEV) welcomes endorsements of the IPEV Valuation Guidelines
(www.privateequityvaluation.com) from the U.S. National Venture Capital
Association (NVCA) and the Private Equity Growth Capital Council (PEGCC). The
NVCA and PEGCC join 40 other endorsing organizations around the world that
represent both general partners (GPs) and limited partners (LPs); all of these
groups support a consistent valuation framework that is compliant with relevant
accounting standards for venture capital and private equity investment funds.
'The endorsement of the IPEV Valuation Guidelines by the NVCA and PEGCC further
demonstrates the acceptance of common and consistent global valuation practices
in the Private Equity and Venture Capital industry,' said William J. Hupp, IPEV
Board Vice Chairman and former Chief Financial Officer at Adams Street
Partners. 'LP investors need reliable and comparable estimates of value
determined in compliance with applicable fair value accounting standards.
Referencing the IPEV Valuation Guidelines by GP's in their fund raising and
reporting communication to LPs helps assure an LP that they can use the
reported valuations effectively in their investment process.'
The IPEV Valuation Guidelines have been drafted to be consistent with US
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP) and International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS). The IPEV Valuation Guidelines include best practice
valuation guidance developed by key stakeholders - including LPs, GPs,
auditors, and valuation experts with deep industry experience.
'Fair Value estimates continue to face heightened scrutiny from auditors and
regulators,' said David Larsen, IPEV Board Member and managing director at
financial advisory and investment banking firm Duff&Phelps. 'The IPEV
Valuation Guidelines help managers, investors, auditors and regulators
understand and apply valuation judgments for the venture capital and private
equity industry using the perspective of such market participants as is
required by relevant accounting standards.'
Notes to Editors:
The IPEV Valuation Guidelines exist to help the private equity industry address
the need for greater consistency and comparability in assessing Fair Value for
private equity and venture capital investments. The Guidelines also promote
compliance with IFRS, US GAAP and other accounting principles.
Separate and distinct from the IPEV Valuation Guidelines, the IPEV Investor
Reporting Guidelines address the need for information beyond requirements of
financial statement reporting, taking into account the need for flexibility
among various types of funds and fund managers.
