Backing Out Acquisitions
How would you go aboutassessing the operating cash flowfor the core business of a company with a history of making a lot of acquisitions? Mostly bolt-on. It seems to me there is plenty of opportunity for aggressive acquisition accounting that may be giving an incorrect picture of the true earning and cash generating power of the business, and I'd like to try and reconcile it. I've spread thecash flowandbalance sheetstatements over the past 10+ years and gathered all of the disclosed information about acquisitions over that time as far as purchase price and acquired assets, goodwill, liabilities, etc go, but I'm not too sure what to do from here.
Any advice or guidance?
