Until credit markets thaw and current financial conditions improve, the challenge for business appraisers is to assess the options for distressed and impaired entities, says bankruptcy expert Jim Alerding CPA/ABV, ASA, CVA (Clifton Gunderson LLP), with particular attention to capital procurement, management forecasts, industry of operation—and the all-important premise of value: liquidation or going concern?
