Article Abstract:
Investment in foreign companies is becoming more commonplace as trading between countries is deregulated, creating a worldwide marketplace for goods and services. When considering investment abroad, an accurate valuation of a company is vital although this can prove difficult to obtain due to lack of adequate data. A comprehensive understanding of a country's economic, political and cultural environment can be provided by using people working in the locality. The use of professional expertise in the valuation process will also help to ensure sufficient returns from investing abroad.
