The International Institute of Business Valuers (iiBV) has become a member of the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) and is launching its first course in international business valuation standards. The course will be offered immediately in an in-class format and will be available online as a self- study course. The Canadian Institute of Chartered Business Valuators will host the first in-class offering in Toronto on March 31, 2017. The online version of the course will be available through the iiBV, Business Valuation Resources (BVR), iiBV members, and the IVSC starting in April 2017. Course materials will consist of presentation slides, participant manual, a case study, the IVS 2017 book, and a 25-question multiple-choice exam. Successful participants will receive an iiBV certificate of completion. More details will be forthcoming.
