Verification A key element in any appraisal and evaluation process is verification. Is the document or object real? What criteria and tests are valid to determine veracity? How does the document or object conform to or vary from acceptable form, characteristics, standards and context? |
Provenance "The History and Context of the document or object". More than the chain-of-title and chain-of-custody, and an essential element in determining rights and interests in context of market value. e.g., An 18th century, high quality porcelain dessert service versus an 18th century, high quality porcelain dessert service commissioned by Royalty and part of a particular ceremonial use. |
Appraisal - Valuation Market value, insurance value, gift and estate appraisals for Personal property, businesses and business assets, art objects and art collections, and for liquid and illiquid assets and interests. |
Due Diligence and Process Audits Are you asking the right questions and are the answers you receive valid and responsive? Are there gaps and risks that are not being revealed? Does your Due Diligence process make sense? Are you using the right criteria? Are the statements you receive accurate, complete and from the proper source? Process audits (contract provisions, handling and disposition requirements, sourcing and origin requirements) and Document/Revenue Audits (change in circumstances, calculations, gross versus allowances and net). |
