We spoke with Jim Zukin, the CEO & Chairman of Zukin Certification Services, and former Co-Founder of Houlihan Lokey, about his new product – the Reasonable Basis Review, or “RBR”.
The Reasonable Basis Review is intended to help SPAC sponsors follow SEC guidance as it relates to financial projections, but also allow their target companies to have financial projections reviewed and validated by a trusted third-party.
Jim goes into why he thinks the RBR will be widely adopted by SPACs as a result of the current SEC SPAC rule proposal. But, he also believes the RBR will have a large presence in the wider M&A landscape.
