The Institute of Valuers and Appraisers Singapore (IVAS) has announced a series of initiatives aimed at advancing business valuation excellence. These were unveiled at the IVAS-IVSC Business Valuation Conference 2025, held on 27 August. The initiatives focus on regional expansion, strengthening international collaboration on valuation guidelines, and enhancing the recognition of the Chartered Valuer and Appraiser (CVA) programme.
The IVAS is set to bolster its regionalisation efforts, which are expected to facilitate greater cooperation and standardisation in business valuation practices across borders. This move is anticipated to benefit professionals in the valuation industry by providing a more cohesive framework and fostering international partnerships.
A key component of the announcement is the emphasis on the CVA programme. By increasing the recognition of this certification, IVAS aims to elevate the professional standards and credibility of valuers in Singapore and beyond. This initiative is expected to attract more professionals to the programme, thereby enhancing the overall quality of business valuation services.
The conference highlighted the importance of these initiatives in aligning Singapore’s valuation practices with global standards. This alignment is crucial for maintaining the competitiveness of Singapore’s valuation industry in the international market.
As these initiatives roll out, they are likely to have significant implications for the valuation industry, potentially leading to more robust and reliable valuation practices. The IVAS’s efforts to enhance professional recognition and regional collaboration underscore its commitment to advancing the field of business valuation.
