Our mission
The IVSC is a not-for-profit organisation that acts as the global standard setter for the valuation profession, serving the public interest.
Our mission is to raise standards of valuation practice by:
- Developing high-quality International Valuation Standards which ensure consistency, transparency and comparability.
- Encouraging the adoption of IVS, along with valuation professionalism provided through Valuation Professional Organisations (VPOs) throughout the world.
Our structure
The IVSC is overseen by a Board of Trustees which includes former finance ministers, leading financial and securities regulators, heads of valuation professional organisations and standard-setting bodies. Independent technical boards of international experts are appointed to lead the development of the IVS. The IVSC is headquartered in London, UK.
Why is valuation important?
Valuation matters. Whatever the reason for conducting a valuation – financial reporting, M&A activity, financing, insurance, taxation, mortgage lending, asset sales or determining the capital adequacy of financial institutions – reliable and trusted valuations are crucial. In turn this helps foster financial stability and sustainable economic growth.
