AICPA Names Award-Winning Speaker for National Business Valuation Conference

The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) announces keynote speaker, Dr. Loren C. Scott, for the AICPA National Business Valuation Conference, Dec. 2-4, 2007. Over 1,000 practitioners and CPA professionals will gather in New Orleans for the largest Business Valuation Conference in North America. The conference will include in depth tracks on Litigation, Niche Topics, Fundamentals, Emerging/Hot Topics and Fair Value/Intangibles. Expert presenters will explore and analyze the current economy’s influence on trends in business valuation services.

Dr. Scott, Professor Emeritus of Economics of Louisiana State University and President/Founder of the firm Loren C. Scott & Associates, is this year’s keynote speaker. During his 13 years in the Economic Department, Dr. Scott earned seven awards at LSU for outstanding classroom teaching. He is considered to be a highly regarded expert on the Louisiana economy. His presentation, “The Economic Impact of Katrina and Rita,” will cover surprising results for the long-term economic impact on the affected areas.

“This year’s conference committee is very experienced, it even includes two members of the AICPA Business Valuation Hall of Fame, and they all are driven to make this BV Conference one of the best ever,” says Robin E. Taylor, Conference Chair. “We are very excited to have Judge David Laro return as a featured speaker discussing the biggest mistakes experts make in trials,” said Taylor of Dixon Hughes PLLC.

With the historic city of New Orleans as the backdrop—and the stylish Sheraton New Orleans as the host hotel—the three-day AICPA conference will capture the pulse of the industry in the heart of the Big Easy.
