OUR MISSION

The International Association of Certified Valuation Specialists (IACVS) was founded in 2000 to provide worldwide support to professionals who perform either valuations or are engaged in fraud deterrence. IACVS is the first and only international association to provide such support.

IACVS’s objective is to transfer “best practices” in both fields of endeavor. In the valuation field, IACVS promotes the uniform application of valuation theory, approaches, methods and models throughout the world. In the field of fraud deterrence and forensic accounting, IACVS encourages the development and dissemination of consistent and demonstrable systems and techniques for both detection and prevention of fraud.

This mission is accomplished through the establishment and support of national associations known as Charter Members. The Charter Members represent separate regions or countries, each with practitioner/members who provide services to their valuation and fraud prevention communities.

STANDARDS

IACVS requires each of the Charter Members to adopt professional standards that will provide guidance to the Associate Members. In addition to following the laws and regulations adopted by each country, Associate Members are expected to follow basic and generic standards in all professional activities. By agreement with IACVS, each Charter Member adopts the IACVS Proposed Standards, or creates similar standards to govern the professional activities of its Associate Members.

In addition, IACVS encourages the adoption of the professional standards issued by the International Valuation Standards Committee (IVSC) for the valuation of intangible assets and intellectual property. The standards of the IVSC, in conjunction with the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB-US) are required for financial reporting in most countries of the world.
