Program Description
This session explains the accepted methodologies for normalizing compensation in business valuations. These methodologies are also used in M&A, exit planning, tax planning, and shareholder disputes.
In this webinar, we will discuss various sources of compensation comparability data and the advantages and disadvantages of each. We will also cover practical tips and recommendations for improving efficiencies, documenting analyses, avoiding common mistakes, and drawing defensible conclusions.
The first two hours will cover how valuators can normalize compensation expenses when they prepare valuation reports for clients. The third hour of this session will provide tips on how valuators, expert witnesses, and other consultants can ask for and receive fees that reflect the true value of their expertise and services. Practical pointers will include ways to discuss fees and respond to questions and objections. This session will be especially helpful for rainmakers and those who plan to become rainmakers.
