The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today. But however well-known these sayings might be, it requires a change in mindset to properly implement a cash flow management system that predicts your business's runaway as accurately as possible. Key to this new mindset is understanding the difference between the Statement of Cash Flows, a historical look at the source and uses of cash, and the Cash Flow Statement, which uses transaction history and forward-l

In reply to Baggins. A borrower inspection is just that. The borrower is lead through a video inspection on his/her phone by an appraiser sitting at a computer. The appraiser gives the borrower instructions on what to view and the borrower takes video while walking through the property. The appraiser sitting at his/her desk can watch the video as it is being recorded by the borrower and take snapshots of items of importance through coordination with the borrower.

Certifications help signal that someone is knowledgeable and competent in a given subject matter or area. For expert witnesses, a certification can be valuable for emphasizing their competency and eligibility to serve as an expert witness in court. On the other hand, expert witnesses who lack credentials have an uphill battle in proving their knowledge and ability to serve as an expert witness.

It was a year marked by mass layoffs and two massive Hollywood strikes , which AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc (NYSE: AMC ) CEO Adam Aron called “ a double whammy.” But, as director Kevin Smith once said, "I

Haven’t read all of the above, but this concept simply wreaks of setup, conspiracy, sting, & entrapment, and is as simple as holding an appraiser accountable for matching a preliminary title report that was never provided and not otherwise available to the “valuation expert” at the time the assignment order was placed and accepted.
