Audited Financial Statement Clarity

Join Duff & Phelps for a discussion on analyzing private fund audited financial statements (AFS) with a focus on private equity, venture capital and cryptocurrency. Endowments, foundations, public and private pensions, family offices, sovereign wealth funds, fund of funds and other institutional investors all invest in private funds that will soon send out their 2020 AFS. Our experts will take you through key components of the AFS and provide insight on how to conduct consistent, in-depth AFS reviews to identify areas of inconsistency and red flags.
