How the work runs
Scope
We agree the reporting date, the farms to cover, and what the report is for.
Records review
We review your herd or stock records and recent sales and purchases. Good records shorten the field work.
Field count and classification
Our team counts and classifies the animals on the farm, checking identification against the records.
Market evidence
We gather current prices for comparable animals and apply them by class.
Report and certificate of valuation
You receive the report and the certificate of valuation, and we answer your auditor’s questions on the method.
Experience
Studbrand has carried out a valuation of a Kenyan university farm’s livestock and other biological assets, from stock count and classification to the IAS 41-aligned report.
We name clients only with their written agreement.
