Valuation standards and guidance areas of business valuation are constantly expanding and being updated. The increase in business valuation worldwide has had a lot to do with this expansion, as has the increase in valuation within financial statements worldwide. Jim Alerding will explore the current status of business valuation standards and other guidance documents, including new standards and new areas of discussion and guidance concerning business valuation. The program will provide the attendee with information on what standards and guidance are available and will assist the attendee in determining whether they are required to follow certain standards and which standards might be helpful to the practitioner in performing business valuations.
