Litigation Expert Michael Corso Provides Comment on Proposed Business Valuation Guidelines

Henderson, Franklin, Starnes & Holt, P.A., is pleased to announce that Florida litigation expert Michael J. Corso was asked to provide comment to the proposed revision to the International Glossary of Business Valuation Terms. He shared concerns that the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) proposed “standard of care” revisions for a business valuation accountant might shift and may increase the potential for professional risk.

He focuses his practice in matters involving product liability and the defense of non-medical professionals such as lawyers, accountants, architects, engineers and surveyors.

He has appeared throughout the United States in programs sponsored by professional and bar associations, as well as educational institutions such as Purdue University and Cal-Poly Tech. Corso is Chair of Henderson Franklin’s Marketing Committee and previously served as chair of the Tort & Insurance Litigation Department for over 33 years.
