Course Overview

What are some of the red flags that valuators should be alert to when conducting a small business valuation? The owner or their representatives might provide false information, either intentionally or unintentionally, to influence the final valuation number. This course will delve into these critical red flags. While not every valuation professional is a fraud expert, it is crucial to recognize signs that a small business owner might be providing false or misleading information to sway a valuator’s opinion.

This webinar will also review the standards for preparing a small business valuation report. Understanding these standards ensures that the valuation process remains accurate and credible. Participants will learn about the fundamental elements necessary for a comprehensive and reliable valuation report, which are vital for maintaining professional integrity and delivering precise valuation outcomes.

Major Topics Covered:

  • Business Sales Vs. Asset Sale
  • Elements of a Business Valuation
  • Economic Report Issues
  • Errors Vs. Fraud
  • Fraud Triangle Theory
  • Behavioral Red Flags for Fraud

Join Dr. Robert Minniti as we explore the essential items a valuator should be aware of to prevent the release of an inaccurate valuation opinion. This program is critical for valuation professionals seeking to enhance their vigilance and accuracy in assessing small business valuations.
