Market values in today’s environment can be particularly difficult to determine, especially when financial modeling is used to estimate market value for specific assets and portfolios of assets. This program provides corporate board members with an understanding of how market value estimates should be developed for financial reporting.
This program:
describes development of market value estimates,
identifies scenarios where problems can occur, and
suggests things directors may want to to consider, including how to weigh whether third party experts should be engaged to assist the board.
