BV 8-Hour Challenge Exam (Challenging BV201-204)
Exam Description
ASA accepts successful completion of the 8-Hour BV Principles of Valuation (POV)
Challenge Exam in lieu of successful completion of the four individual POV
courses (BV201-204). This 8-hour challenge exam is geared toward experienced business
valuation professionals who have already mastered the competencies taught in the POV courses. Many
of these individuals have at least 4,000 hours (2 years) of full-time business
valuation engagement experience and stay abreast of the ever-changing landscape of the
