Did you see the news?  NACVA has partnered with the American Institute of Expert Witnesses (AIEWE), the organization dedicated to training and mentoring professionals in the art of delivering effective courtroom testimony, withstanding grueling cross-examination, and communicating persuasively to judges and juries.

AIEWE courses will be offered through the Consultants’ Training Institute (CTI), NACVA’s training affiliate. NACVA has offered Expert Witness Bootcamps for more than five years, but AIEWE emerges this year as its own institution with a specific mandate to serve a broad base of business beyond financial consulting.

“It doesn’t matter whether you’re defending a business valuation, challenging the validity of an engineering model, arguing about a commercial construction implementation, debating the efficacy of healthcare service, negotiating a celebrity contract, or contesting a legislative act,” explains Michael G. Kaplan, CPA/ABV/CFF, CVA, CFFA and AIEWE in the press release.  “Too many cases that are strong on their own merits are destroyed in court by poor expert testimony.”
