International issues are now touching all appraisers, and they present new challenges. This has prompted two groups to come together to examine international operations, the global economy, global competition, and the convergence of valuation standards. The result is Business Valuation in an Upside Down World, a two-day conference in Atlanta on September 30-October 1.

Troubling topics: The Southeast Chapter of Business Appraisers (SECBA) and the International Association of Consultants Valuators and Analysts (IACVA) have joined forces to present this event. Topics include an international update on peer review and standards, cost of capital, current economic research, and more. There will also be an expert panel on “troubling topics” including tax-effecting PTEs, recent IRS developments, and changes to database methodologies. Panel members include Linda Trugman (Trugman Valuation Associates Inc.), Curtis Kimball (Willamette Associates), Bob Morrison (Morrison Valuation & Forensic Services LLC), and moderator Marcie D. Bour (Yip Associates).
