A Contemporary Reference Work
Mergers and acquistions are an integral part of the new economic paradigm. With an explosive increase in the number of mergers and acquisitions, chartered accountants, legal advisors, company secretaries and consultants are most often faced with a myriad legal and regulatory complexities. A tiny mishap born out of inexperience or inattention to detail can prove to be quite expensive in executing a smooth merger, given a legion of complex and unresolved issues that can exist long after.
Written by an expert in corporate restructuring, this is a complete reference on the legal, accounting and secretarial aspects necessary for mergers, demergers and slump sales. It explains the law, procedures, parallel examples and legal commentaries for a host of cases. The book delves into the depth of the subject and provides an answer to the critical question “how to go about mergers”.
The book includes among other topics:
• Analysis of the provisions of the English Companies Act
• Valuation methodologies
• Accounting standards on amalgamation
• Tax aspects of mergers/demergers
• Tax aspects of sale of undertaking (hiving off)
Written with an artist’s eye for detail, a scientist’s skill to view facts with discernment and an accountant’s instinct for perfection, this book is replete with information, analysis and directions.
The book would be a rich reservoir of ready reference to the exponent, a hand-holder for the novice and a simple do-it-yourself manual for a person who wishes to start out on his own!
