Internal Revenue Code 409(A) Compliance
Internal Revenue Code Section 409(A) standards apply to all private companies that issue equity-based compensation. Failure to comply with Section 409(A) could result in tax penalties levied by the IRS. Procuring an independent appraiser, such as Columbia Financial Advisors, to perform a business valuation in conjunction with the issuance of equity-based compensation satisfies the presumption of reasonableness set forth in Section 409(A). Satisfying this assumption, safeguards members of board of directors from IRS scrutiny.
Valuations for venture-stage companies can be extremely complex and routinely include option pricing models and probability scenario analysis. Columbia Financial Advisors has been at the forefront of this type of valuation and analysis and has performed business valuations for companies in every stage of enterprise development from seed-stage through the IPO process. In addition, Columbia Financial Advisors has considerable experience with the audit process, ensuring the valuation process does not impede your company’s audit. Generally, valuations for Section 409(A) compliance can also be used to satisfy the fair value requirement set forth in SFAS No. 123R purposes, leveraging the use of the appraisal engagement.
