BVR Hosts Experts Matthews and Wachter in Presentation on Contentious Area of Implied Minority Discounts

During their presentation, Matthews and Wachter will show how the Delaware Chancery Court, the nation's premier business court, has come to hold a view of minority discounts that conflicts with that of top experts in the field. Their presentation will highlight contentious issues that have long been growing within the business appraisal community, and will surely force many appraisers to reexamine how they approach the subject.

"Minority discounts have long been a grey area in the business appraisal process and appraisers have always looked for any guidance they can find," said Lucretia Lyons, President of BVR. "With top experts on one side and the court on the other, BVR is very excited to welcome Gil and Michael for this presentation. It addresses a topic of concern that's long been building in the profession."

"Implied Minority Discounts in Statutory Fair Value: The Doctrine that Just Won't Die" will be the latest installment in BVR's ongoing teleconference series. In addition to the information and insights provided during the presentation, attendees will receive additional ancillary reading materials from BVR's extensive library and database, and will be eligible to receive two continuing education credits in the field of accounting (CPE).
