The International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC), the global standard setter for valuation practice and the valuation profession, has made two high-profile appointments to its board of trustees. Ethiopis Tafara, a vice president for corporate risk and sustainability and general counsel of the International Finance Group (IFC), and Zhang Guochun, secretary-general of the China Appraisal Society (CAS), join as trustees.

“We are extremely pleased to be welcoming two new trustees to the IVSC who bring with them enormous specialist knowledge as well as experience of operating on an international level,” says Sir David Tweedie, IVSC chairman. “We are a global body which covers both established and emerging markets and both our new trustees will provide critical insight and connections into these areas.”
