IBA's 8004 Teaches Real World Business Appraisal Solutions

8004 Comprehensive Certified Business Appraisers (CBA) Accreditation Workshop

(The second of two five-day CBA accreditation workshops required for new appraisers applying for the CBA Credential)
Also recommended for CBA Fast Track Applicants.

In every profession there are noted practitioners whose quality and competence stand out from the rest. In the field of business appraisal, these “stand-outs” are Certified Business Appraisers. The Institute of Business Appraisers’ five-day 8003 Introduction to Business Appraisal and five-day 8004 comprehensive Certified Business Appraiser Workshops, offered through CTI, give participants the foundational skills needed to earn the hallmark business appraisal credential, the Certified Business Appraiser (CBA). Recognized throughout the world for more than 30 years, the CBA is the pioneering business appraisal credential that appraisers ascend towards.

The Nation's First Business Appraisal Expert Witness had this to say about the Certified Business Appraisers (CBA) “The value of the CBA credential is enhanced immeasurably by the requirement that candidates submit two demonstration business appraisal reports showing professional competence. I review many reports for litigation, and those prepared by CBAs are consistently better than those prepared by persons with credentials that do not require demonstration reports.” — Shannon Pratt, CFA, ARM, FASA, MCBA, CM&AA, ABAR Shannon Pratt Valuations

Program Content
This intermediate level, five-day workshop is intended to provide an in-depth discussion of topics for individuals seeking a more advanced knowledge of business appraisal methodology and report writing. Applicants for the CBA designation will find the course invaluable in producing their demonstration reports required for the Certified Business Appraiser (CBA) credential. Assignments after class will center on exercises related to the day’s lesson and on questions one might expect on the CBA examination.
