The CA Business Valuation Specialist Advantage

“Business valuations are increasingly required in financial reporting, mergers and acquisitions, raising finance, taxation, and litigation. The CA ANZ Business Valuation Specialist credential offers a gateway to assist in these matters.

Opinions on value can be a significant source of debate. Opinions rely on the selection of inputs, the adopted valuation approach and the assumptions made. What is not in dispute is that forming opinions requires specialised knowledge, based on study and training. CA ANZ Business Valuation Specialists have that knowledge.”

“If you have two experts in a courtroom – one on either side of a case – and you can say, “I’m a Business Valuation specialist,” and the other one can’t say that it does provide more authority to your opinion.”
