There was a more-than-usual presence of international attendees at the ASA Joint 2019 Advanced Business Valuation and International Appraisers Conference in New York City sponsored by the American Society of Appraisers. This reflects the increased collaboration between the ASA and global valuation organizations, such as RICS (a London-based valuation professional organization) and the CBV Institute (formerly the CICBV, a Canadian group). For instance, the ASA and RICS have signed a Letter of Intent to work together to “ease fragmentation” in the profession. Also, the ASA recently entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with ANEVAR, the national association of authorized valuers in Romania, that focuses on standards, education, and designation reciprocity. At the conference, we noticed attendees from such places as Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Sweden, Israel, Russia, Mexico, Japan, Korea, Slovenia, and Kazakhstan, just to name a few.
