“Managers and investors alike must understand that accounting numbers are the beginning, not the end, of business valuations.” – Warren Buffett (richest man in the world as at March 2017).
The provision of business valuations is much more than a numbers game. It requires assessment, understanding of the context and also the dynamics involved.
