EXPOSURE DRAFT: DEADLINE APPROACHING

Comments for this exposure draft must be received by March 31, 2023.

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 toward 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.
