The newly revised glossary of business valuation terms (see last issue’s coverage) also has a new title: International Valuation Glossary—Business Valuation. One reason for the new title was that the developers “wanted to set the stage for perhaps the publication of other international glossaries for other specialisms, such as real estate, where there is also a market need for consistently understood terminology,” says Muath Alkhalaf (TAQEEM, Saudi Arabia) in a video.

A working group made up of members of the American Society of Appraisers (ASA), Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), Saudi Authority for Accredited Valuers (TAQEEM), Canadian Institute of Chartered Business Valuators (CBV Institute), and the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) developed the revised glossary.
