In the valuations group, I never received any difficult technical questions, but you should be prepared to answer the following: -Walking through the impact on each of the three financial statements when, for example, increasing depreciation -Discuss the three valuation approaches: DCF (Income Approach); Guideline Public Companies or Market Multiples (Market); and Guideline Transactions or Precedent Transactions (Market); may also bring up the Cost Approach. -Could be asked something like "How would you value customer relationships" related to a purchase price allocation - understand that income related to an asset being discounted is a pretty safe answer for that kind of question.
