The London School of Business and Finance (LSBF) Singapore Campus has partnered with the Institute of Valuers and Appraisers, Singapore (IVAS) to launch the Chartered Valuer and Appraiser (CVA) Programme in Malaysia and India. This marks the first time LSBF will offer the CVA Programme outside Singapore, aiming to enhance professional standards in valuation across these burgeoning markets.
The partnership was formalised during the IVAS-IVSC Business Valuation Conference 2025, attended by notable figures such as Indranee Rajah, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office, and Chia-Tern Huey Min, Chief Executive of the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority. The initiative seeks to provide finance professionals, corporate leaders, and valuation specialists in Malaysia and India with access to a globally recognised qualification.
Rathakrishnan Govind, CEO of LSBF Global, emphasised the importance of valuation in today’s business environment, stating, “By bringing the CVA Programme to Malaysia and India, we are giving professionals direct access to world-class training that enhances their expertise and credibility on the global stage.” Lie Kok Keong, Chairperson of the IVAS Council, added, “This collaboration will strengthen business valuation standards and practices across the region.”
Founded in 2003, LSBF serves over 25,000 students globally and has been recognised for its future-focused approach to education. The expansion of the CVA Programme aligns with LSBF’s mission to broaden educational opportunities across Asia, contributing to economic growth by building talent in key sectors.
