Jeffrey M. Risius, CPA/ABV, CFA, ASA, Managing Director and co-leader of the Valuation Advisory Group, has written a book that is written for the attorney who has the need to work with valuation professionals, whether it be in the context of litigation, corporate planning, or tax reporting to name a few. The purpose of this book is not to attempt to teach attorneys how to value a business or an asset in a few hours of reading in order to perform valuations themselves but rather to arm the attorney with enough information to be able to: " Understand the context of the valuation " Ask well-thought out questions regarding the valuation analysis during the attorney's review of the work " Challenge assumptions from a common sense "business" perspective and play "devil's advocate" with respect to the work " Confirm that the assumptions and premise on which the valuation is based are not inconsistent with the law or legal arguments of the case " Design questions to ask the valuation expert for purposes of direct testimony or cross examination Related exhibits, charts and case summaries are included.
