The Guide to Canadian Business Valuations, published by Thomson Carswell, was just updated last month. BVR has signed an agreement with the publisher to help promote this three-volume, loose leaf guide for our customers with Canadian or cross-border clients.

Written by Richard Wise, this Guide is intended to:

  • Provide practical information that is easy to understand and use - Incorporates a unique “engagement approach” to the valuation process, an accessible, step-by-step system.
  • Offers valuable insight into the practices, concepts, and procedures for a variety of valuation engagements.
  • Explain  each step of the valuation process with “real life” examples - Includes detailed case studies, sample engagement letters, computation worksheets, questionnaires, checklists, and forms.

All BV professionals in this area will find the complete set of easy-to-use practice aids extremely helpful in their day-to-day activities. Nothing else like it exists specifically for the Canadian market.
