FINANCIAL DUE DILIGENCE AND VALUATION IN PUBLIC ACCOUNTING ENGAGEMENTS
ABSTRACT
This research aims to assess the effectiveness of financial due diligence and valuation in public accounting engagements, with a focus on accuracy, reliability, and compliance with industry standards. A survey design was employed to gather data from accountants and financial analysts, capturing their experiences and challenges in performing due diligence and valuation. The sample size, derived using Taro Yamane’s formula, was 380 from a population of 8,500 accountants in Abuja, ensuring a precise and representative sample. Abuja was chosen for its role as the administrative center of Nigeria, where many significant financial transactions occur. The study utilized a reliability coefficient score of 0.87, indicating high reliability. Findings reveal that while financial due diligence and valuation are generally effective, inconsistencies in methodologies and lack of standardized practices pose significant challenges. The study recommends establishing uniform standards and continuous professional development to improve the reliability and accuracy of due diligence and valuation processes.
