The Saudi Authority for Accredited Valuers (Taqeem), the regulator for the valuation profession in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has celebrated the first graduation class of Accredited Valuers, Taqeem’s valuation designation. The graduates, 105 real estate valuers and 31 business valuers, include Muath Alkhalaf, the head of the business valuation sector at Taqeem and the first female designated business valuer.
