Program Description

Providing expert testimony is the moment of truth as to the reliability and credibility of a business appraiser’s opinion. What better way to prepare and defend one’s opinion than to examine, deconstruct, and discuss business valuation opinions and forensic damage calculations from recent high-profile court cases. By scrutinizing recent case law, this webinar will enable attendees to extract judicial opinions and analyses to strengthen one’s own credibility and conclusion.

Learning Objectives

After completing this webinar, attendees will be able to:

- Identify how case law impacts their business valuation conclusions
- Increase their awareness of various court views of valuation theory and methods—based on recent decisions
- Articulate the rationale of the court cases discussed and understand the impact on clients and their practices
- Incorporate lessons from the court into their next valuation or financial damages case
