  Description    
This seminar introduces real estate appraisers to the relevant body of knowledge, issues, terminology, and valuation practices involved with valuation for financial reporting (VFR) including fair value (mark to market). Participants will discover what they should know about VFR and understand how they would be involved in providing real estate appraisals for VFR purposes. By the end of the seminar, participants will understand how VFR purposes are a natural extension of valuation services that they are currently providing.

Developed for the experienced practicing general appraiser, the content is intended for professionals who have little or no experience in valuation for financial reporting. It is assumed that the attendees will come from a wide-range of background experiences. The material provides a foundation in financial reporting and encompasses perspectives from those that prepare, use and govern the practice of preparing financial reports.
