Regardless of whether or not you practice in the area of fair value, mark your calendar for the 15th Annual ASA/USC Fair Value conference on Thursday, June 18, at the offices of KPMG in downtown Los Angeles. Why attend if you don’t practice in this area? In recent years, the advancements in fair value measurements have spearheaded developments in valuation theory. New thinking about control premiums (market participant acquisition premiums), contingent consideration, reconciling the income and market approach, and the multiperiod excess earnings method are examples of fair value issues that have spilled over into other areas of valuation. BVWire attends this important full-day event every year because it consistently features nationally recognized speakers and timely topics. Stay tuned for the agenda and more details.
