Succession Planning & Exit Strategies: Challenges & Opportunities Today | Not to mix analogies, but a tsunami of valuation opportunities is upon us, and your window of opportunity may be closing faster than you realize. We are referring, of course, to the impending retirements, sales, and bequests that are the result of an ageing Baby Boomer generation as they prepare to leave their businesses behind for the later stages of life. Though this surge of business appraisal and valuation work has long been on the horizon, few appraisers are actually taking steps to expand their practices into the niche areas demanded by these new opportunities. What's more, even fewer are aware of the valuation challenges inherent in theses fields. In "Succession Planning & Exit Strategies: Challenges and Opportunities Today" expert appraisers Jim Andersen and Ron Seigneur show how to avoid the pitfalls inherent in exit planning and succession strategy valuation work. From the appraisal techniques needed and imperative knowledge when entering this marketplace to how to move your practice towards new valuation areas, Seigneur and Andersen cover it all in this can't-miss presentation. | 4/18/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About DLOM But Were Too Afraid To Ask | While the volume of materials presented and written on discounts for lack of marketability (DLOMs) seems unending, persistent questions remain for many appraisers in determining and applying these all-important adjustments.

In "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About DLOM But Were Too Afraid to Ask" experts Kevin Yeanoplos, James Lurie, and Chris Mercer will address these nagging, annoying, and seemingly simple questions whose answers are curiously complex. | 3/21/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Companies in Distress: Valuing the Impaired and Currently Unprofitable | As benchmarks, indicators, and pundits showed that the end of 2008/2009's economic woes were in sight, the fall-out and clean up of recent trouble continued across the economy. Nowhere was this more true than in the arena of business valuation, where the volume of impaired and distressed business appraisals continued to escalate. Though the valuation of an unprofitable business is a challenge in its own right, it's only exacerbated by this economic environment. In "Companies in Distress: Valuing the Impaired and Currently Unprofitable," Jim Alerding, Jim Ewart, and Robert Shortle discussed obstacles and considerations when valuing distressed and impaired businesses. Their 100-minute presentation covered such topics as management planning, liquidation, premises of value, and the operating environment. | 8/9/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

For all valuation practitioners, this presentation is an imperative preparation for the coming wave of impairment-related valuation issues.

Developing Discounts and Cap Rates in a Troubled Economy | Developing discount and capitalization rates in a changing marketplace can be tricky in the best of times. In these "difficult," "troubled," and "desperate" economic, times however, the rules by which this process is completed are now being challenged under the microscope of irregular market conditions and unforeseen changes to the marketplace. While many traditional models, such as CAPM, Modified CAPM, and the Build-up Model (BUM) are still fully appropriate to utilize, their inputs now require extra justification. BVR tackles these problems head-on with "Developing Discount and Cap Rates in a Troubled Economy: New and Emerging Views on Old Issues," hosted by Ron Seignuer, Don DeGrazia, and Stacy Preston Collins. Over the course of their 100-minute presentation, these three valuation experts focus on relatively new and emerging issues that practitioners need to consider when developing their discount and capitalization rates in today's turbulent economy, exploring opportunities for practitioners to enhance their support for these key elements of the valuation process. | 6/14/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Lost Profits Damages | In March 1999 The U.S. Supreme Court's Kumho Tire decision extended the Daubert admissibility criteria to non-scientific expert testimony. Ten years later, motions to exclude expert witnesses are on the rise, and the discovery process has become more perilous than ever. As electronic evidence rules have change, Daubert and other motions to exclude financial experts in lost profits cases have never been as prevalent. How does an expert balance the burgeoning discovery rules with the risks of being excluded? Nancy Fannon and Jonathan Dunitz discuss the best ways to protect yourself from Daubert challenges and the lessons learned from ten years of excluded experts in Lost Profits cases. | 3/24/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
