Written primarily by Pratt (business valuation) and Niculita (chartered financial analysis) with Shannon Pratt Valuations, Inc., this handbook covers all aspects of business valuation that might be considered in a U.S. court. It focuses on the valuation of corporations and other businesses, the legal status of appraisers, and the likely consideration of expert evidence. Broader than it initially appears, the work also includes information on marital dissolution valuations and alternative dispute resolution. Contains a helpful glossary of business valuation terms, along with a useful table of cases. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
