ACA Podcast Highlights Valuation Compliance

ACA Group hosts a podcast series “Compliance in Context” which recently highlighted the importance of valuation and having the proper policies and procedures in place. The episode, entitled, “What do you mean Valuation?” takes a comprehensive look at why valuation is a key topic for regulators and the role that compliance plays in the process. The podcast hosts acknowledge that valuation impacts the funds share price, which also impacts performance, advertising, and reporting. The hosts note that valuation starts with what type of asset is being traded and the difficulty of identifying a specific process for assigning a value to that asset. It is critical to understand the firm’s business. They note, “mis-valuation or valuation problems…can result in private or regulatory liability for fraud, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty.”
