In late 2007 and early 2008, both the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the International Accounting Standards Board issued separate statements on business combinations. There are a number of similarities between the two new standards, but differences do exist that could lead to dramatically different valuations of assets and liabilities in a merger‐and‐acquisition (M&A) deal. Deal makers must understand the differences in the two standards to decide how to structure any new deal. The authors take an in‐depth look at the issues involved. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
