Why Should You Attend?
For those who value banks (or want to learn more about bank valuation), this session is for you. This information-packed session will provide an opportunity to learn more about bank valuation and the current state of the banking industry (both the challenges and opportunities) than you could in any other 100 minute session. Panelists and industry experts Andy Gibbs of Mercer Capital and Bill Wilhelm of Crowe Chizek will begin with a discussion of current industry conditions, trends in the public markets for bank stocks, and recent M&A activity. These changes in the industry and market during the last twelve months affect the valuation of financial institutions. The presentation will discuss what appraisers need to know to value banks in the current environment. Then they will touch upon fair value measurement issues raised by the current environment and what they mean for banks, such as goodwill impairment, and what bank auditors look for when auditing fair values measurements.
