VPS StraightTalk Webinar Series: Advanced Issues in Business Valuation
Speaker: Jim Hitchner, CPA/ABV/CFF, ASA
“Advanced basic” is not a contradiction in terms. This webinar is designed to benefit everyone, whether a first-year analyst or a seasoned BV veteran.
Are you tired of esoteric concepts and applications that few use and even fewer understand? Are you tired of answers like, “When you look at it this way the answer is this, but if you look at it that way the answer is that?” Do you scream when a presenter says “It depends” when asked a question, even a basic one?
The bottom line is that while the valuation profession has come a long way, we still can’t agree on many–and we mean many–basic valuation issues. This webinar covers those controversial issues and gives you confidence to understand and apply valuation fundamentals in the most supportable way.
The participant will learn about the following:
- What are the choices in fundamentals in business valuation?
- Which of those choices are the most supportable?
- What are the “junk” valuation concepts and applications that are so prevalent?
- What new tools do you need to know about, and how do you adopt them?
