The Internal Revenue Service states that an appraisal will be treated “as a qualified appraisal” within its regulations by meeting three qualifications:

1) the appraiser should be qualified by a recognized association (such as the American Society of Appraisers);

2) the appraiser must have the education and experience in valuing the type of property being appraised; and

3) a qualifying appraisal is developed in compliance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (“USPAP”) as promulgated by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation.

ASA prepared valuation reports require certification and adherence to these qualifications and standards. Business Valuations are pertinent not only when delivered, but also serve as a reference point. BV reports must be thorough and complete. When your business interest needs an appraisal, turn to the experts.
