Learning Objectives

  • Identify requirements for documenting economic outlook in valuations.
  • Recognize key aspects of economic outlook in valuation reports.
  • Discuss appropriate documentation for economic assumptions and risks.
  • Analyze data sources used in economic forecasting.
  • Explain risks in depositions and legal challenges.

Course Overview

A strong economic outlook section can be the backbone of a credible business valuation report. But presenting a clear, defensible narrative that reflects current and forecasted market conditions takes more than good writing—it takes the ability to analyze data, apply sound judgment, and anticipate legal challenges.

This CPE course is designed to supplement the introductory course on business valuations. It covers all critical aspects of writing the economic outlook section of a valuation report—where to obtain data, how to format and analyze it, and how to present findings effectively. You’ll also explore the risks that arise during depositions, cross-examinations, or Daubert challenges, and how to mitigate them through thorough documentation and strong analysis. By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped to create valuation reports that are both compelling and legally defensible.

Major Topics:

  • Forensic Accounting Applications
  • Business Valuation Fundamentals
  • Developing Economic Outlooks
  • Documenting Economic Outlooks
  • Legal Risks in Valuation

Ideal for valuation professionals, forensic accountants, and economic consultants, this CPE course equips you to create solid, courtroom-ready valuation reports. You'll gain the tools to build trust with clients and withstand scrutiny in litigation settings. Register now and elevate your valuation expertise to new heights.
