Are you frustrated with the chatter and discussion on the uses of calculations under the AICPA SSVS (Valuation Standards)? Do you feel like the business valuation profession is “Breaking Bad” with the use of calculations of value? Because of the misunderstandings about calculations, the AICPA has taken the unusual step of issuing a nonauthoritative pronouncement titled Calculation Engagements Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). This is a must read, and Jim Alerding, one of the authors of the SSVS and of the FAQs, will lead you through the FAQs as well as other matters on the uses of calculations in this must-attend webinar.
