Banks that are looking to acquire an existing bank or branch(es) need to be aware that such transactions must be valued in accordance with the federally mandated Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
ASC 805 requires the purchasing bank to perform purchase price accounting for assets purchased and liabilities assumed through the acquisition. Essentially, the acquired assets \u2014 tangible and intangible \u2014\u00a0have to be booked at their fair values.<\/p>\n
ASC 805 was designed to combine the content of numerous existing guidelines and regulations. As a result, it is necessarily complex. While the valuation experts of Southard Financial are familiar with the process, it may be helpful for you to review the issues encompassed by ASC 805:<\/p>\n
