The American Institute of CPAs released an exposure draft of proposed business valuation standards that would be applicable to institute members performing valuation standards in tax, mergers and acquisitions, litigation, and financial reporting. Once the standards become finalized, members would be required to comply with them when performing valuation engagements that reach a conclusion of value or an indication of value. Roughly 25,000 institute members currently provide business valuation and forensic and litigation services. For further information, go to www.aicpa.org/bvfls.
