BV195 BV Report Compliance with USPAP and SSVS-1 (now VS100)

Webinar Description

When preparing reports, many business valuation professionals must comply with the Statements on Standards for Valuation Services ("SSVS-1" issued by the AICPA), the ASA Business Valuation Standards, the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice ("USPAP" issued by The Appraisal Foundation), or two or three of these combined. How to comply with each one, and then how to put it all together can be daunting. This webinar will discuss specific comparisons between and among the reporting requirements and provide suggestions for dealing with certain common issues. While it will focus primarily on USPAP and SSVS-1, it will also address the requirements of the ASA Business Valuation Standards.

Webinar Audience

Anyone issuing reports that must comply with at least one of these professional standards.
