The global guide for private equity firms and fund accountants

Written by Mariya Stefanova and expert contributors, our best-selling Private Equity Accounting book provides essential guidance and advice in a single volume for all private equity practitioners and fund accountants around the world across all accounting standards.

Before now, if practitioners and accountants wanted to learn about and understand applied best practice of private equity accounting then the only way to unearth the professional secrets was by learning from peers. Mariya Stefanova and other leading accounting experts reveal how to succeed and avoid some costly pitfalls in this unique publication.

In the post-global financial crisis world increased regulation of private equity and investor activism mean greater pressure on general partners to accept increased reporting requirements although this reporting can be sensitive.

Primarily written by Mariya Stefanova, this professional guide anatomises every precise detail and required process that private equity firms and fund accountants should follow. It’s full of user-friendly examples on every aspect of accounting in all of the main jurisdictions.

Key lessons:

  • Understand the precise workings of a private equity fund and its life cycle
  • Consolidation, valuations and an auditor’s perspective of private equity accounting
  • Effectively report IRR and other performance metrics for investors
  • Carried interest and carried interest modelling guidance
  • Fund commercial terms and how they work
  • How to read a Limited Partnership Agreement (LPA) in detail
  • Difference between management fees and priority profit shares (PPS)
