Valuing a Business was originally authored by legendary business valuer and life ASA member, Shannon P. Pratt, FASA, ARM. The new 6th edition is being published by McGraw Hill with underwriting sponsored by ASA’s Educational Foundation. All proceeds benefit education, research and charitable activities to advance the appraisal profession.
Fellow Accredited Senior Appraiser and senior member of the team that championed the publication, Roger J. Grabowski, FASA, noted the updated Valuing a Business covers both the concepts of business valuation and practices for doing it right. He continued by saying, "It is the most comprehensive book designed to be read by both valuers and non-valuers, providing guidance from over sixty contributing authors on nearly every aspect of valuation. The Sixth Edition continues the easy to read style that has been the hallmark of Shannon’s books."
ASA CEO, Johnnie White, stated "The Society is honored to continue this publication’s legacy and impact, not only for today’s business valuers and allied professionals, but also for a new generation of appraisers through the support of the Foundation."
