BVR RESOURCES AVAILABLE – WEBINAR TRANSCRIPTS

Did you know that CBV Institute has a dedicated BVR portal through which we provide CBVs and Students free access to many business valuation books, articles, and resources? For example, the transcript from the archived webinar In Search of a Steady State: Inflation, Interest Rates and Value, The (inflation) Genie Escapes the Bottle! is available to view. In this session, renowned Professor Aswath Damodaran looks in detail at the issue of inflation: why it has become front and center, why it is affecting the market, why it is making businesses worth less or more, and other economic consequences.

UPCOMING EVENT: PRACTICAL ISSUES IN FAMILY LAW

We are excited to announce an upcoming event co-hosted by CBV Institute and the Family Dispute Resolution Institute of Ontario (FDRIO), taking place on February 13, 2023.

It will feature three sessions, covering the cross-examination of a CBV in family law, valuing RSUs and stock options, and the expanding and evolving role of CBVs in alternate dispute resolution.

This is a fantastic opportunity to stay current on important issues, learn from industry experts, and network with colleagues. We hope to see you there!

This event is available IN PERSON and over LIVESTREAM.

TORONTO WORKSHOP - VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Workshops are collaborative venues for CBV professional development at the local level. Workshops advance professional topics of local interest and provide the opportunity for CBVs to receive technical guidance close to home. Workshops qualify to earn CPD hours from CBV Institute. Organizers also promote regional networking activities and social events, supporting a sense of community that connects the CBV profession.

Facilitated by CBV Institute, workshops are spearheaded by dedicated volunteers. Regional organizing committees are mobilized by CBVs to plan and deliver events, which are open to all CBVs and Students in the local area.

If you are interested in volunteering for the Toronto Workshop Committee, please send an email to deborah.hanlon@cbvinstitute.com by February 15, 2023. 

EXPOSURE DRAFT RELEASED: ADOPTION OF IVS AS OPTIONAL USE PRACTICE STANDARDS

CBV Institute has released an exposure draft proposing the adoption and permitted (optional) use of the International Valuation Standards (IVS) as issued by the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) for independent valuation engagements which would otherwise be performed in accordance with CBV Institute Practice Standards Nos. 100, 110, 120 and 130. For clarity, IVS would be adopted as an option alongside, rather than replacing, Practice Standards Nos. 100, 110, 120 and 130. CBV Institute and its Professional Practice and Standards Committee (PPSC) have been discussing the adoption of IVS for several years. The publication of this Exposure Draft is a significant step forward towards global harmonization of valuation standards for the benefit of the public interest. CBV Institute and CBVs have had a leading role in shaping IVS into what they are today – the leading internationally recognized standards for valuations of all asset types, including business valuation.
