System and method for implementing an analytics tool for purchase price allocation benchmarking

A computer-implemented system that implements a purchase price allocation benchmarking and analytics tool, the system comprising:

• a data collection input interface that collects data from a plurality of disparate data sources;
• a centralized database that stores, normalizes and manages the collected data;
• and
• a computer processor that is coupled to the data collection input and the centralized database and further programmed to perform the steps of:
• collecting, via the data collection input interface, transaction data from the plurality of disparate data sources comprising company public filings, eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) data and financial research platform data;
• executing, via the computer processor, a mapping algorithm that normalizes and standardizes the transaction data from company public filings;
• executing, via the computer processor, a matching algorithm that associates the transaction data with corresponding financial research platform data;
• validating, via the computer processor, the transaction data to identify a validation status representing a level of validation;
• generating, via the computer processor, one or more searches for the validated transaction data;
• and
• presenting, via a user interface, an interactive dashboard that comprises source data content and corresponding analytics relating to the transaction data specific to a combination of:
• Intangibles data;
• Goodwill / property, plant, and equipment (PP&E) data;
