Description

While ideas and methods continually evolve in the business valuation profession, 2020 marked a year of challenges unlike any other.

Always a highly-anticipated annual publication, the Business Valuation Update Yearbook 2021 covers the year’s most groundbreaking and thought-provoking advancements on valuation methodologies in the face of a global pandemic. It also captures, changes in regulations and professional standards, key takeaways from the best virtual conferences, and tactical practice-building ideas. This critical desktop reference puts you ahead of the competition with on-the-ground reporting from valuation experts, thought-leaders, and BVR’s expert editorial and legal teams.

The Yearbook is divided into eight sections for easy navigation.

• Section I. Business Valuation Approaches, Methods, and Entity-Specific Issues: Covers the latest news of the profession as well as the most discussed and most controversial business valuation topics that arose over the past year.
