Retired Status

Individuals, 62 years and older, who are retired and issuing six or fewer valuation or calculation reports per year, can continue to display their credential in business communications, including but not limited to, letterhead, headers/footers of the report, business cards, and/or his/her curriculum vitae, and valuation reports, as long as they include “retired” after their designation, for example, CVA (retired), AVA (retired), or CFFA (retired). Those who elect retired status can maintain NACVA membership as a Professional or Associate member, and are only required to comply with one component of recertification; taking NACVA’s Current Update in Valuations (CUV) once every three years (via live, webinar or self-study). CVAs no longer have to maintain their CPA license. A retired member may not market his/her services, but may accept unsolicited valuation or financial forensics projects, and must adhere to special requirements that may be subsequently promulgated by NACVA’s Valuation Credentialing Board or Litigation Forensics Board, as applicable. In all cases, the retired member must follow NACVA’s Professional Standards in the performance of such work.
