The latest IVSC Perspectives Paper, 'Unlocking the Potential of ESG', explores the findings of our recent survey, looking at the extent to which ESG is being considered by different stakeholders in the valuation process. 

In order to better understand evolving market needs, the IVSC's ESG working group carried out a survey of investors, businesses, and valuers concerning all types of valuations in order to gain an understanding of the stage of evolution and development of each, in their consideration of ESG components.

Sydney-based PwC Partner, Richard Stewart OAM, has been appointed as the next Chair of the IVSC’s Business Valuation Board (BVB). Richard joined the Board as a member in March 2019 and takes over from Andreas Ohl who steps down after a seven-year contribution to the IVSC’s standard setting boards. Richard will also take over from Andreas as the BVB representative on the Standards Review Board which oversees the IVSC’s standards agenda.

After a two-year pause in physical meetings we are delighted to welcome attendees to our in-person AGM at the Renaissance Marina Hotel, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, from 14-16 September.

The IVSC AGM is an opportunity to connect with valuation leaders and stakeholders from around the world.

Our last in-person AGM took place in Singapore in 2019 and we are delighted that after such a long time, and with thanks to our AGM 2022 sponsors – the American Society of Appraisers, the Appraisal Foundation, HypZert and Taqeem – we will have the opportunity to assemble again later this year in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA.  We welcome any interest from any further potential sponsors in helping us make this event a success.

During the three-day AGM the IVSC’s standards board, Board of Trustees and Advisory Forum will all hold meetings and representatives of IVSC’s member and sponsor organisations are encouraged to join us and participate in many aspects of the programme.

In addition to the formal AGM, meetings of our technical standards boards, and the all-member Advisory Forum, attendees are also invited to join our AGM Dinner and networking events.

We have also negotiated a discounted room rate at the Renaissance Fort Lauderdale Marina Hotel and a link to book will be provided upon registration.  Places are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

We look forward to seeing you in Florida!

IVSC and EACVA have teamed up to bring you a new free-to-access, online, business valuation magazine.  The magazine, which will be published quarterly, will include a series of practitioner-led articles covering major business valuation topics of interest to valuers across Europe in particular. 

Some high-quality, academic-led business valuation journals already exist in some European countries, including EACVA's own Berertungs Praktiker in Germany and OIV's BV Journal in Italy. This new magazine will focus on pan-European issues and will be more conversational in tone, with articles submitted by current practitioners and those that interact with the business valuation community day-to-day. The aim is that this online magazine will complement the academic-led journals and increase awareness in the European business valuation profession. 

The first edition is due to be published shortly, and the editorial board has now issued a call for articles for the second edition, with a deadline of 15 October 2022. 

If you have ideas for topics, or if you would like to propose an article for a future edition of the European Business Valuation magazine then find out more below, or contact the editors here

The IVSC's member and sponsor network includes more than 180 organisations, including the leading Valuation Professional Organisations (VPOs); valuation service providers; government and regulatory bodies; academic institutions; and the users of valuation professional services:
