About the role
The panel is assessing whether you can lead valuation work that is technically sound, reviewable and useful for a real decision. Expect detailed discussion of method selection, model controls, forecast challenge, sensitivities and how you defend a conclusion when stakeholders prefer a different answer.
How to prepare
- Review the strengths and limitations of discounted cash flow, market multiples and asset-based methods.
- Prepare to explain how you estimate and test key inputs without relying on false precision.
- Practise reviewing a model through checks on structure, signs, units, circularity and financial-statement links.
- Choose an example where sensitivity or scenario analysis changed a stakeholder's decision.
- Rehearse a concise explanation of a valuation range for a non-technical executive.
Common mistakes
- Choosing a method by habit instead of explaining why it fits the asset and purpose.
- Trusting a plausible output without testing the model's mechanics.
- Using a single-point answer where the evidence supports a range.
- Defending an assumption with authority rather than market evidence and sensitivity analysis.
