Mario Draghi has said there is no limit to how far the European Central Bank will go to hit its targets in a sharp response to market criticism that his latest stimulus package did not go far enough.

By Russ Alan Prince  Home - For a number of reasons, there is increasing pressure on many smaller and mid-sized accounting firms to sell. Most of these deals have a similar arrangement where the multiple is based on the firm’s revenue – around one times annual earnings . In these acquisitions, the presumptions often include operational synergies with accompanying decreased costs and that the sellers will be able to transition their clients. In a great many cases, these premises are in error resulting in “bad feelings” and the sellers failing to obtain all the monies they expected. For example, there is regularly the belief that the sellers will grow their practices for a period of time even when they were apparently not able to do so before the sale.
