This year, the National Association of Certified Valuators and Analysts (NACVA) has introduced a series of regional “specialty conferences.” The next one will be in Houston October 18-20 and will focus on financial forensics and expert witness strategies. For the valuation analyst, forensics especially comes into play when calculating lost profits and business damages. The conference will include a number of sessions related to the use of forensics in lost profits/damages engagements. There will be two keynotes: one by the Honorable Christopher P. Yates, a Michigan circuit court judge, and one on building a valuation and forensic litigation services practice, conducted by Mel Abraham (Practice Builder Academy).
