Most practitioners today have been exposed to the notion of "value", especially with respect to the delivery of services and benefits to clients. This course focuses on the concept of "value" as it applies to an accounting practice.
In this session Mort addresses ways in which you can enhance the value of your practice either for your own benefit, or to make your practice more attractive in the event of a merger or sale of an interest.
Mort also examines strategies for identifying the value elements in someone else's practice if you are considering merging or acquiring a practice or an interest in a practice.
