How can business owners block out the noise so they can hear a serious offer?
The volume of unsolicited acquisition calls being made to privately held companies in the United States is staggering. In this issue of Dealmaker we examine strategies for evaluating and responding to these approaches. The issue also covers highlights from the Grant Thornton International Ltd's 2011 International Business Report. The issue ends with an update on first-quarter M&A activity and a summary of recent transactions.

Understanding the dynamics of business value
Many business owners are familiar with the traditional, data-driven appraisal methodologies but what happens when you look at value through a different lens? Are there simpler ways to understand, and increase, the value of your business? Our spring 2010 issue discusses this question and also includes a quarterly M&A activity update covering the transaction environment in the United States and abroad, with an emphasis on what business leaders are expecting in the year ahead.

Private company financial reporting
This white paper presents the case for re-examining the idea of establishing a separate set of accounting standards for public and private companies. The rationale includes: 1) the issuance of IFRS for small to medium-sized entities; 2) efforts underway in other countries to address private company generally accepted accounting principles; 3) recent survey results demonstrating a preference for differential accounting standards for private companies; and 4) increasingly complex accounting standards driven by the investment community but largely at odds with the needs of private companies.
