  • The Gathering 2018 – Family Businesses: Attractiveness, Readiness, and Valuation – Factors that Business Owners Often Don’t Know

    $25.00

    Simply recasting financials to find a new EBITDA and estimating a factor does not make a true valuation – even when combined with a calculation of fixed assets and goodwill. Misunderstanding enterprise value, a lifestyle business, and/or discrete and non-discrete intangible assets often cause businesses to lose value. Learn the nuances of Assessments/Valuations and how to transition from a Wisdom-driven Business to a Value-driven Business. Value-driven Businesses increase your options by systematizing the magic you’ve applied to creating success up to this point. They command stability for internal transitions, as well as the highest market value if you decide to sell.

    Reporting Elder Abuse: Should I? Must I? Or Must I Not?

    $25.00

    Different states and federal authorities impose either requirements or best practices regarding reporting of suspected elder abuse, physical and financial, on professionals.  These are especially prevalent in the health care and financial fields.  However, there is a tension between one’s duty to report suspected fraud, fraudulent activity, and undue influence, and one’s duty to maintain the privacy and confidentiality of client and customer information.  Sheila and Peter will canvas the relevant authorities and discuss ways for professionals and their agents to maintain compliance with the reporting obligations while still preserving the confidences of customer and client information.
