Professional Qualifications
Howard Teasley
I received my Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Purdue University in 1962 and my Master of Arts in Economics from the University of Oregon in 1968. I qualified as a Certified Management Accountant in the United States in 1983 and as a Certified General Accountant in British Columbia in 1986. I have valued public and private businesses ranging from a BC ship¬yard and Canadian and European manufacturers to a direct-mail marketer for purposes of financing, public security offerings, mergers and acquisitions, and litigation, and I have been accepted as an expert on the subject by the Supreme Court of British Columbia, the British Columbia Securities Commission, and the then Vancouver Stock Exchange.
Since 1989 I have regularly given expert evidence in the Supreme Court of British Columbia as to past and future business and employment losses, future cost of care, and related contingencies and allowances. I first gave expert evidence on economic losses (in the Superior Court of the State of Washington) in 1972 and first appeared in the Tax Court of Canada in 2005. I have worked professionally for 31 years as an economic and financial analyst and for nine years as a full-time university teacher (three years teaching accounting at Simon Fraser, six years teaching economics at Western Washington).
