The International Society of Business Appraisers (ISBA) will introduce a new six-day valuation course, combining instruction on valuation approaches and methods using ValuSource software.
“Incorporating software with instruction is what the business valuation community was lacking,” ISBA Executive Director Howard A. Lewis said in the release. “We are attracting professionals who are used to and want technology. ISBA fills this gap by providing computer-based instruction to its students and members. We still have extensive study and application on all aspects of report writing within our course, but software is what the new generation of valuation professionals desires.”
Ronald D. Rudich, the instructor and one of the architects of the course, offered his insights regarding this project.
“With this approach, each candidate for certification experienced in-depth knowledge, enabling them to be able to complete a business valuation with the use of the software and not have to learn the software on their own, ” Rudich said.
Rudich, is a practitioner with more than 30 years of experience, and is the past chairman of the board of Governors of the Institute of Business Appraisers.
Using hands-on classroom training by analyzing case study examples, the students are able to complete the course better prepared to meet the needs of their clients, ISBA said. For more information, visit www.INTLBCA.com.
