CBV INSTITUTE OR CICBV – A REMINDER

CBVs should continue to refer to reports as being prepared in accordance with Practice Standards of The Canadian Institute of Chartered Business Valuators, as this is the legal name of the Institute. Reports and engagement letters are unaffected by the CBV Institute brand identity.

As a point of clarification, CBV Institute is the trade name of The Canadian Institute of Chartered Business Valuators. The trade name was introduced to facilitate our public marketing and communications efforts. Trade names are a common practice for many, major business brands today.

If you have any questions about this, please reach out to catalina.miranda@cbvinstitute.com.
