CD of Teleconference with Q&A
|
On the heels of the AICPA's new SSVS No. 1 standard, accounting firms' business valuation practices now must adapt to even more changes in mainstream valuation standards. Effective Jan. 1, 2008, the Appraisal Standards Board overhauled its uniform appraisal standards, for 2008 and 2009.
Changes in USPAP standards include new ethics and report certification requirements, and different "highest-and-best-use" rules for personal property. Also, the National Association of Certified Valuation Analysts revised its standards as of Jan. 1, 2008 to drop conflicts with SSVS No. 1.
Valuation practices must become adept with both revised sets of standards, follow their mandates in client work and plan how to resolve any conflicts with SSVS No. 1.
Listen as our panel of experienced valuation specialists from accounting firms of all sizes analyzes all key provisions of the new USPAP and NACVA standards and advises firms and their clients on adapting to the new rules.
The panel included:
Neil Beaton, Partner-in-Charge of Valuation Practice, Grant Thornton, Seattle. He specializes in SEC compliance valuations, including stock options and FAS 141 and 142 engagements.
Ron Seigneur, Partner in Valuation Practice, Seigneur Gustafson, Lakewood, Colo. He has more than 20 years of valuation experience and works as an expert witness in several jurisdictions. He also serves on the AICPA’s Business Valuations Subcommittee.
Martin Lieberman, Partner in Valuation Practice, Weiser, New York. He has more than 30 years of experience on business valuation, accounting and tax services, and serves clients in a broad range of valuation assignments from shareholder dissent suits to contract damage claims.
Mary O'Connor, Partner, RGL – Forensic Accountants & Consultants, Chicago. She has been a valuation specialist since 1979, working on business and intellectual property valuations.
The panel explains and prepares you to react to these and other key issues:

- Guidance for mid-sized and small accounting firms with small or newer valuation practices.
- Practical approaches to communicate the new rules to clients and maintain transparency.
