Further, ensure concluded values are approved and shared with accounting in a timely fashion in advance of the ledger's quarter-end close to strike the programs' net asset values upon which capital transactions (i.e. contributions and redemptions) are based.
  • Upon review of each property's quarterly appraisal, utilize the quarterly valuation analytic tool to isolate drivers in quarterly valuation changes, along with trends, anomalies, issues and the resolution thereof, and share results with stakeholders in advance of the quarterly valuation meetings. Further, conduct the quarterly valuation presentation to executive management.
