The National Association of Certified Valuation Analysts (NACVA) and the Consultants? Training Institute (CTI) brings the latest training and certification programs in the fields of business valuation, litigation consulting, fraud deterrence and detection, and a variety of other consulting disciplines to area professionals in the consulting industry?s hottest growth niches.

The Consultants? Training Institute (CTI) is comprised of the nation?s leading experts in the fields of business valuation, litigation consulting, fraud deterrence and detection, and a variety of other consulting disciplines. As the most widely respected professional training organization, the CTI combines hundreds of years of practitioner experience with academic insights to produce benchmark training and certification programs in the consulting industry?s hottest growth niches. ?Meeting the requirements set forth by Sarbanes Oxley involves the implementation of effective and efficient controls aimed to reduce the opportunity of fraud to occur within the organization. CTI provides the most comprehensive fraud deterrence training under the CFD track. Attendees will obtain the ability to assess an organizations control environment, conduct fraud risk assessments, and implement an overall program to reduce the risk of fraud. Says Paul E. Zikmund, Principal SolomonEdwardsGroup, LLC.

The linchpin of the CTI?s leadership position is its ability to attract field-leading experts and firms to partner with in the development of courses that not only reflect the depth of their experience and expertise, but incorporate the latest developments in their field as well. Because of their ownership position with the CTI, course developers have a vested interest in delivering training that meets curriculum objectives and?most importantly?the expectations of participants. Over one-half of the courses in this catalog have been taught for more than nine years, incorporating many years of refinement. The result is unsurpassed participant satisfaction.

The CTI?s greatest contribution to the valuation industry is our certification programs. Currently, the CTI offers two distinctive business valuation designations through its Business Valuation Certification and Training Center (TC): Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA) and Accredited Valuation Analyst (AVA). The TC?s compact five-day intermediate level curriculum is comprehensive and substantive, providing value from beginning to end. Our primary goal is to provide you with information that will serve as a solid foundation for your professional valuation endeavors, whether or not you plan to pursue a designation. You will also find that a sound mastery of the course contents will be of great assistance to you in your pursuit of an accreditation?be it a Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA) or an Accredited Valuation Analyst (AVA).

In the area of Fraud Deterrence and Detection, the CTI and the Fraud Deterrence Institute (FDI) sponsor the most extensive five-day training program found on this subject anywhere. Even the nation?s largest fraud-related organization does not have comparable training on the prevention side of the fraud equation. And how have the CTI and the FDI achieved this? Here again, we have partnered with numerous high-powered and well-regarded CPAs and seasoned professionals to develop and deliver a well-rounded and very gratifying program. When you have completed this training, you will take away quantifiable knowledge and the necessary resources to immediately begin working on building your niche in fraud deterrence, whether that be from the ground floor or starting from the 20th floor.

As you may know, Business Valuation, Financial Litigation Support, and Fraud Deterrence are among the hottest niches for the CPA profession every year, according to Accounting Today magazine?s Top 100 Survey. What does this mean? These consulting niches are where the top 100 visionaries of the CPA profession see the greatest opportunities for the future. And we at the CTI agree. If you want to make the most of your career in these niches, the CTI is most definitely the best and brightest venue to turn to for your training.

One very important feature of the CTI is the two certifications being offered for successful graduates of our Forensic Institute?sponsor of the Certified Forensic Financial Analyst (CFFA) designation, and the Fraud Deterrence Institute?sponsor of the Certified Fraud Deterrence Analyst (CFD) designation. Both designations require substantive training and testing as well as periodic recertification. Relevant to both designations is that they are unique to the disciplines they support, will make a huge statement to your clients about your commitment and qualifications, and most importantly, through training, testing, and subsequent certification, give you added confidence to successfully pursue these disciplines in a competitive marketplace.
