Journal Selected from among 1,183 Entries This Year Award-Winning Publication Offers Valuable CPE

We are very pleased to announce that The Value Examiner® (TVE), an independent, professional journal published by NACVA®, is once again the winner of an APEX Award of Excellence, sponsored by Communications Concepts, Inc. TVE has now received its 12th APEX award, winning its first back in 2007 and then each consecutive year from 2010 to 2020.

The APEX Awards are based on excellence in graphic design, editorial content, and the ability to achieve overall communications excellence. TVE received the Award of Excellence in the category of Magazines, Journals, and Tabloids. This year, the number of entries topped 1,100.

“A 12th Apex Award is a tremendous honor, which recognizes the dedication and hard work of the entire The Value Examiner community, including its contributors, editorial board, and staff," said Dan Shiffrin, editor. “And, of course, much of the credit goes to Nancy McCarthy, who served as senior editor for most of 2019.”

TVE is published bi-monthly and contains substantive, peer-reviewed articles covering a spectrum of consulting disciplines, including business valuation, forensic accounting, mergers and acquisitions, fraud risk management, business and intellectual property damages, healthcare consulting, and practice development.

NACVA Practitioner and Professional members receive a hard copy of the journal mailed bimonthly (suspended for the remainder of 2020 but will resume again with the first issue in 2021) while Associate members receive access to electronic versions via NACVA’s website. A subscription is available to non-members at a cost of $215 annually. In addition, complimentary copies of TVE are available to university libraries and colleges, upon request. If you happen to know of a college or university library who would benefit from receiving a free subscription to TVE, please direct your requests to LynneJ1@NACVA.com.
