Speaker: William W. Thomsen,
CFA, ASA
Topic: Detecting a "Rigged" Goodwill Valuation
The Problem: You are digging through a thick goodwill loss valuation report. Its conclusion is far higher (or lower) than your own expert’s, or what you would expect to be reasonable. You feel it must be “rigged” somehow. But how? Where?
The Solution: This presentation will provide information to help navigate these complex waters. At the end of the presentation, you should have better insight on what to look for and what to ask when reviewing a goodwill valuation report.
Who Should Attend? Attorneys, right of way professionals, agency representatives, appraisers, advisors, or business owners who deal with business valuations may find this session useful.
