Webinar | Introduction to International Valuation Standards to Council

On June 27th, 2023, Lincoln International hosted a webinar discussing exclusive insights into IVS 500, the proposed financial instruments standards our Valuations & Opinions Group has helped shape for the IVSC in response to rapidly expanding markets and valuation needs. Key takeaways:

• The purpose of the International Valuation Standards Council is to create a global set of valuation standards enabling consistency, transparency, and comparability pursuant to the valuation of financial instruments.
• The standards would be relevant for all entities regardless of geography and apply to all financial instruments regardless of liquidity.
• At the core of the standards is the requirement of strong governance so as to prepare a bias-free and independent valuation.
• The standards do not prescribe specific approaches or methods for certain instruments, but rather outline a process for preparing a valuation, including ensuring an independent review component.
