Regulatory pressures and the need to better serve the public interest are making it imperative for the BV profession to harmonize globally. A panel of global BV educators will debate the issues and challenges in the design of a global BV designation and accreditation system. The “Lively Debate on Global Business Valuation Education” will take place on October 23, immediately following the annual general meeting of the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) in Toronto, Canada.

Panel members are April Mackenzie, CEO of the IVSC; Ben Elder, global director of RICS Valuation and EQS; Bob Morrison, chair of ASA Business Valuation Committee and chair of IIBV Education Committee; Doug McPhee, global head of KPMG BV education; and Pierre Maille of PwC Montreal and vice chair of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Business Valuators (CICBV).

Hosted by the International Institute of Business Valuators (IIBV) and Business Valuation Resources (BVR) and sponsored by American Appraisal, this event is free. If you can’t make it in person, the event will be webcast live. For details, click here. In the meantime, join the discussion of this topic on BVR’s LinkedIn page.
