BF009i: Business Valuation Fundamentals - Process, Standards, Approaches and Challenges

 
Programme Objective

Business valuation is often regarded as the process of ascertaining the value of a business, its ownership interest or a particular asset or liability.  It is a key component of investor and corporate activities and is carried out for many purposes. In recent times, it has gained prominence because of the increase in mergers, acquisitions and divestments activities, legal proceedings involving dispute resolutions, emphasis on intangible assets (& intellectual properties) in business and the application of fair value measurements in financial reporting.  Particularly, the use and importance of fair value measurement has been increasing in today’s financial reporting environment, and there is significant public interest in the way that values are determined in this regard.  As business valuation is deeply anchored in financial reporting, it is necessary and important to be equipped with the fundamental knowledge of this subject matter. 

In the conduct of business valuation, the International Valuation Standards (IVS) as developed by the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) is being applied by valuers in more than 100 countries.  IVSC is a membership body comprising of more than 160 organisations, comprising of valuation professional organisations (VPOs), associate VPOs, institutional, corporate, and academic members, and works to promote and grow the valuation profession worldwide.  The Institute of Valuers and Appraisers of Singapore (IVAS) which certifies business valuers in Singapore, is a member of IVSC.  The valuers (Chartered Valuers and Appraisers) certified by IVAS will have to comply with the IVS in carrying out their work. 

In this 2-hour e-learning module, the speaker will cover the fundamentals and practical aspects of business valuation.
