Why You Should Attend

Poorly defined and highly subjective, reasonable compensation analysis is often both subject to, and the result of highly contentious valuation disputes. In their presentation at the BVR/Morningstar 3rd Annual Summit on Business Valuation in Divorce, expert appraiser Kevin Yeanoplos and compensation specialist Edward Rataj examined how reasonable compensation analysis is performed, how it is disputed, and how it has come to be shaped by relevant case law. On December 2, in a special encore presentation of their session at the Summit on Business Valuation in Divorce, Yeanoplos and Rataj will cover these issues, then join us live to take your questions. Join us for the most in-depth examination of this issue in years.

Reasonable Compensation:
Application and Analysis for Appraisal, Tax and Management Purposes

For many closely held businesses, no single operating expense impacts the profitability as much as compensation does. In all private companies, an expense that is discretionary to the owner in terms of size, timing and payment method may represent not only compensation for services rendered, but also disguises dividends or profit distribution. The valuation of a business could be greatly affected by owner's compensation, or the lack there of.?

This Guide helps practitioners whenever employee-owner compensation is subject to review and adjustment. It is also an invaluable resource when valuing non-compete agreements or calculating personal vs. enterprise goodwill.
