CPAs are required by the IRS to substantiate equipment values to satisfy the Pension Protection Act of 2006 and AICPA Standards of Valuation #1. Attorneys need to rely on a qualified and certified appraisal when representing clients in a number of situations. They all need to know: \u201cWhat\u2019s the equipment really worth?\u201d How do you find out?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do you guess?<\/li>\n<li>Do you rely on the word of a non-certified person who may have a hidden agenda, such as an auctioneer or dealer?<\/li>\n<li>Do you rely on the depreciation schedule or book value?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Guessing, relying on the word of a non-certified person, or relying on a depreciation schedule is inaccurate, unsubstantiated, filled with liability and risk, and these methods will not hold up to scrutiny.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some reasons you may need a certified machinery and equipment appraisal:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Buy\/Sell Agreements<\/li>\n<li>Insurable Value<\/li>\n<li>Financing<\/li>\n<li>Tax Purposes<\/li>\n<li>Insurance<\/li>\n<li>Cost Segregation<\/li>\n<li>Property Taxes<\/li>\n<li>Gift Planning<\/li>\n<li>Retirement Planning<\/li>\n<li>Mergers and Acquisitions<\/li>\n<li>Divorce Settlements<\/li>\n<li>Estate Settlements<\/li>\n<li>SBA Loans<\/li>\n<li>Trust Agreements<\/li>\n<li>Partnerships<\/li>\n<li>1031 Exchanges<\/li>\n<li>Litigation Support<\/li>\n<li>Sarbanes-Oxley<\/li>\n<li>FASB 141\/142<\/li>\n<li>GASB 34<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Estimating the true market value of your machinery and equipment requires the specialized skills of a certified professional who has the expertise and certification to determine its true fair market value. Whether you need to know the fair market value or other standards of value such as liquidation value, salvage value, or replacement cost, it makes sound financial sense to obtain a credible Certified Equipment Appraisal Report that holds up under scrutiny with financial institutions, government agencies, buyers, sellers, shareholders, or partners.<\/p>\n<p><em>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nebb\/\">NEBB Institute<\/a> endorses and strives to observe the highest standards of professional ethics to preserve the public trust inherent in the professional appraisal practice.
