BV173-WEB - Market Participant Acquisition Premiums (MPAP) for Financial Reporting

Registration

Please see the "Upcoming Classes" tab for class offerings and registration information.

Webinar Course Description

Fair value measurements have become an integral part of the financial reporting landscape over the past 25 years. But during this time, the significant variance of practice surrounding control premium definitions and measurements surfaced as a frequent challenge for companies, their auditors, and, increasingly, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) regulators.

In response to this problem, The Appraisal Foundation sponsored a Working Group to address the topic of control premiums as applied in valuations performed for financial reporting purposes. The foundation recently released the final Valuation for Financial Reporting (VFR) Advisory.

This webinar will discuss the new document, including the newly defined term, the market participant acquisition premium (MPAP), and a general framework for its use.

Course Audience

Professionals involved with Fair Value measurements in the U.S financial reporting setting
