Learn and understand how to properly value and divide a business in a divorce.
Many attorneys hire and rely upon a forensic accountant/valuation expert to issue a report and give testimony in the divorce litigation process or utilize mediation in the collaborative process. However, these attorneys often do not fully understand the business valuation process, the application of methods used in the calculation of their client's interest in the subject business, or how to find hidden money. The topic is as complex as it is daunting for those without a financial background.
This information will provide a straightforward, step-by-step analysis of the business valuation process by explaining the differences between personal and enterprise goodwill, demystifying the three valuation approaches and discounts and explaining their complexities, and exploring some of the ways people attempt to hide money during the divorce process. Understanding this information is critical to attorneys for cross-examination of financial experts and understanding reports.
