Are you looking to expand your knowledge and understanding of business valuation? In this three-part webcast series, led by industry experts, we will dive into to various areas and discuss the complexities, opportunities and practice considerations relevant to these service areas.

Part I: Valuation of Pass-Through Entities

Pass-through entities have unique income tax characteristics which must be considered as part of a thorough business valuation, such as owner level income taxes on pass-through income, and potential taxes on dividends and capital gains. This area of valuation continues to evolve for both controlling and non-controlling interests.

Valuations for estate and gift tax purposes are a leading service area for valuation analysts, and attendees will learn about key provisions, regulations and rulings in this area. Family limited partnerships are a popular entity structure used by families to transfer ownership across generations, and attendees will learn about valuation considerations for these entities. Attendees will also learn how valuation analysts can assist clients and attorneys in drafting and understanding important valuation provisions of their buy-sell agreements.

Part III: Valuation for Family Law and Divorce
