ABV Exam.

The AICPA is not a business valuation organization, but--because of the size of its membership--AICPA members probably perform the largest percentage of appraisals. To receive the ABV designation, an applicant has to pass a written examination. To sit for the written exam, a candidate must be a member of the AICPA, hold an unrevoked CPA certificate or license issued by a recognized state authority and provide evidence of 10 business valuation engagements that demonstrate substantial experience and competence. For more information on the AICPA/ABV designation, call 888-777-7077 or visit the AICPA Web site at www.aicpa.org.
