CALL TO GET INVOLVED!

We’ve hit the ground running in 2022 on our new Strategic Plan, to be released in the coming weeks. Our ambitious goals will not be possible without the help of you, our Members. Our initiatives are member-driven and your leadership and ideas are welcomed and necessary.

For a start, we’re looking for CBVs to participate in the opportunities below. We will provide more information about these in the coming months and communicate new opportunities as they arise, including ways for Students to get involved.

Webinar Speakers See here for a list of targeted webinar topics we are pursuing	Education Outreach CBVs who are willing to speak in university classes or at events, and/or have university contacts
Thought Leadership CBVs who can be interviewed on topics, write brief pieces, or provide existing content that you have developed	Committees/ Councils Committees and councils – a great way to guide the Institute over the year - turn over in June

If you’re interested in these opportunities or would like more information, please contact judy.justice@cbvinstitute.com.

WINTER 2022 COURSE EXAMS & PRACTICE QUIZZES

Students must create a profile and schedule their course exams with Examity by Monday, February 28th. This can be done by logging into moodle. Students must write their exams using Examity (no exceptions).

Further, Students are encouraged to register for and take a Practice Quiz on Examity. The purpose of the practice quiz is to give Students the opportunity to experience the Examity environment, including connecting to an online proctor and uploading a response file; and to familiarize Students with the Institute’s examination rules. Deadline to complete the practice quiz is February 28th. Please note that Students must schedule the practice quiz at least 24 hours in advance of this deadline.

Answers to the Practice Quiz will be available on Moodle on Tuesday, March 1. For more information on the Practice Quiz, log into Moodle, click on “My Courses”, click on the “CICBV Practice Quiz (Winter 2022)” and go to the document “Examity Practice Quiz – Instructions”.

the Province of British Columbia and the Territory of Yukon (“British Columbia”),
the Provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and the Territories of Nunavut and Northwest Territories (“Prairies”),

the Provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island (“Atlantic”)

IVS 2022 NOW IN EFFECT

The International Valuation Standards (IVS), updated on July 30, 2021, are now in effect. IVS serve as the key guide for valuation professionals globally and will underpin consistency, transparency and confidence in valuations which are key to investment decisions, financial reporting and financial market stability. CBV Institute is continuing a comprehensive examination of the implications of IVS adoption and use in the context of CBV Institute Practice Standards.

You can find the updated standards at cbvinstitute.com.

For questions or comments on IVS and how you can get involved, contact Catalina Miranda, Director, Professional Practice at catalina.miranda@cbvinstitute.com.

IVSC COMMENTS ON CFA INSIGHTS RE: GOODWILL

The International Valuation Standards Council recently published a commentary on the results of a survey completed by CFA Institute concerning investor views on goodwill accounting and the debate currently underway about a reversion to amortization of goodwill. The CFA Institute survey results demonstrate an almost unanimous preference from investors for an approach that maintains the impairment option. Most investors also indicated they are willing to bear the cost of impairment testing. A key result of the survey was the belief that goodwill does not necessarily decrease in value over time, as presumed by the amortization option.
