Valuation: Overview of U.S. and International Best Practice Efforts

Program Content
This webinar presentation is a review of the best practice efforts by both task forces formed by The Appraisal Foundation and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants as well as international efforts related to best practice by the International Valuation Standards Council. Best practice efforts underway include equity valuation; intangible asset valuation, including in-process research and development and customer relationships; impairment testing; and control premiums, among other topics. Although focused on valuations for financial reporting and tax compliance purposes, the conceptual and technical guidance developed by these best practice initiatives will also be useful to valuation specialists performing valuations for other purposes.
