Can I use Opagio valuations for financial statements?

Full Explanation

Financial statements (prepared under IFRS or US GAAP) require auditor sign-off, and auditors expect valuations of material intangible assets to be supported by qualified independent valuers with professional indemnity insurance. Opagio can accelerate the process by identifying assets, organising data, and providing initial valuations that a professional firm can review and refine. Many mid-market companies use Opagio to prepare for these conversations, reducing the scope and cost of professional work. For statutory financial reporting, especially in acquisitions (where purchase price allocation is mandatory), you should budget for a professional valuation engagement. For internal management reporting, tax planning, and strategic analysis, Opagio valuations can stand alone.

Transparency about limitations is a deliberate design choice. Rather than overpromising and underdelivering, Opagio clearly communicates the boundary between platform-generated analysis and professional advice. For internal strategic decisions, benchmarking, and preliminary assessments, the platform provides substantial value independently. For formal regulatory submissions, audit-grade valuations, and litigation support, the platform serves as an accelerator that reduces the scope and cost of professional engagements without replacing them entirely.
