Understand business valuation strategies, issues and challenges.
This topic is a great starting point for those seeking to learn about this hot, premium-priced service for clients. This topic is beneficial for both novices entering the field as well as seasoned professionals looking for a comprehensive review. This topic will elaborate upon the critical approaches used in valuation, the vetted research databases commonly employed by seasoned professionals, and the various types of reports issued by valuators. Whether advising their clients on estate and gift taxation, mergers and acquisitions, bankruptcy, or other commercial activities, financial professionals and attorneys are faced with having to understand and assess business valuation issues. For instance, many attorneys hire outside experts to assist them with their cases without fully understanding the methods and assumptions that these specialists utilize. Since the field of valuation is as much art as is science, the information provided in this material will equip attorneys and other financial professionals to ask the right questions to ensure the quality of the business valuation. Further, you will learn about to identify the existence of major pitfalls within the valuation reports themselves.
