Business valuation is a key component of investor and corporate activities and is conducted for many purposes, including the application of fair value measurements in financial reporting. In recent years, regulators have increasingly stepped up their presence and involvement in this practice area, particularly on matters relating to professionalism, and compliance with code and standards. 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 one hundred countries, including Singapore.
Given that business valuation is deeply anchored in financial reporting, it is imperative for accountants and corporate finance executives to be equipped with the knowledge of this subject matter. This course will navigate and unpack the latest version of the IVS, relating to the valuation process, approaches/methods, models, parameters, and contemporary valuation issues. The course is developed for the participants to acquire practical knowledge in business valuation that is applicable in the “real world” setting.
