A business valuation review is essential in ensuring accuracy, compliance with professional standards, and the mitigation of biases in the appraisal process.

The BCA-R program equips professionals with the expertise needed to conduct thorough and defensible valuation reviews, aligning with industry best practices and regulatory standards such as USPAP. By strengthening defensibility, improving clarity in valuation reports, and reinforcing professional development, this certification is becoming an industry benchmark for excellence.<\/p>\n<p>Jim Lisi, BCA-R, CVA, MBA from SB Valuations Inc., shared his thoughts: \u201cI am very glad that I pursued my appraisal review credential with ISBA. The online format was ideal. Even with a heavy valuation practice workload, the online instruction allowed me to engage in the course material without compromising delivery to my clients. I was able to have personal interaction with Howard Lewis, my instructor, who is a wealth of knowledge and experience. And with the small class size, I was able to share my own experiences and learn more from them. Start to finish, I was certified in seven business days. I highly recommend this BCA-R program to any valuer looking to differentiate themselves with a credential that is different from others offered in the profession.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Charlie Cole remarked, \u201cExcellent! We\u2019re fortunate to have them teach this.\u201d Rey Gonzales added, \u201cExcellent instructors, stories and examples are extremely helpful.\u201d Hafiz Ahmad simply noted, \u201cExcellent!\u201d Other participants, such as Manuel Santana and Young Bebus, highlighted the program\u2019s value: \u201cGreat!\u201d said Santana, while Bebus shared, \u201cVery knowledgeable and enjoyed the perspectives of each instructor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis certification program is not just about knowledge; it\u2019s about empowering professionals to lead with confidence in a rapidly changing industry,\u201d added Lewis.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>How to Enroll<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Enrollment is now open for the February 2025 cohort.
