Sydney-based PwC partner Richard Stewart has been appointed as the next chair of the IVSC’s Business Valuation Board (BVB). Richard joined the board as a member in March 2019 and takes over from Andreas Ohl, who steps down after a seven-year contribution to the IVSC’s standard-setting boards. Richard will also take over from Andreas as the BVB representative on the Standards Review Board, which oversees the IVSC’s standards agenda.

Stewart is familiar to many UK valuers, having spent much of his career at PwC in London. Currently, he’s also an adjunct professor in this area in the Business School of the University of Technology, Sydney, and a member of the Australian Valuation Standards Committee.
