Program Description
One of the main highlights of this webinar will be the presentation and discussion of two brand new sample calculation reports (one short and one long) that are in complete compliance with the valuation standards of the AICPA, IBA, and NACVA. We will also cover compliance issues for ASA and USPAP calculations. You will learn just about everything you ever wanted to know about calculations and calculation reports, such as: when and how to use calculations in litigation and non-litigation services; what wording is allowed in calculation reports; what should NOT go in a calculation report; length of calculation reports—detailed review of short (minimalist) and long (more detailed) reports; and new thoughts on how ASA calculations can conform to USPAP.
Learning Objectives
After completing this session, attendees will be able to:
- Determine the rules and prohibitions concerning calculations and calculation reports
- Identify what level of reliance is allowed under the rules and how that is disclosed
- Analyze the traps and problems in calculations and calculation reports
- Differences between ASA and AICPA/NACVA/IBA calculation services
