Andrew Bryant Earns ASA Designation
by Bryant Asset Advisors on 05/29/13
Andrew
J. Bryant was recently awarded his ASA designation by the American Society of
Appraisers.
The
American Society of Appraisers is an international organization of appraisal
professionals and others interested in the appraisal profession. ASA is the
oldest and only major appraisal organization representing all of the disciplines
of appraisal specialists.
The American Society of Appraisers (ASA) confers two designations upon qualified candidates – the Accredited Member (AM) designation and the more prestigious Accredited Senior Appraiser (ASA) designation.
To
qualify for Accredited Senior Appraiser (ASA) status, an individual must have substantial
full-time appraisal experience, and a four-year college degree (or its
equivalent). Most ASA disciplines also require the Candidate to pass a set of
four (4) Principles of Valuation courses, which lay the foundation for the
remainder of the accreditation process. In addition, candidates must pass a
comprehensive exam before a designation is awarded to evaluate the technical
appraisal proficiency of the Candidate and their acquaintance with the
society's ethics, principles and basic precepts. The submission of demonstration
appraisal reports is also a significant factor in the evaluation of the total
accreditation application and should support and define the experience,
education and appraisal qualifications of each applicant.
Accreditation
is awarded to those candidates who demonstrate proficiency in performing
complex appraisal assignments. ASA's International Board of Examiners issues a
final decision on all accreditation applications after all factors (experience,
education, examination and appraisal reports) have been considered.
