International Valuation Standards Overview (in addition to Business Practices and
Ethics) satisfies the Appraisal Institute Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice
requirement for international Candidates for Designation. This program is also one of
three courses that form the core requirements to complete the Appraisal Institute
Professional Development Program in International Valuation of Fixed Assets. The other
two courses in the program are Valuation in Challenging Markets and International
Financial Reporting Standards for the Real Property Appraiser.
This course provides a general survey of the standards within the International Valuation
Standards 2017 (IVS 2017). A working knowledge of this document will foster both
ethical behavior and competent practice. By becoming familiar with these standards,
valuation professionals who perform international assignments will gain a high level of
public trust and confidence, which benefits the real estate valuation profession in the US
and overseas.
The International Valuation Standards give clients, other intended users, and the public a reason
to place their trust in services performed by professional valuation experts. In other words, they
can have greater confidence in valuation services because they know that valuation experts
completing assignments under the International Valuation Standards are required to follow
standards of ethical practice.
IVS 2017, which is the 10th edition, was adopted in December 2016 with an effective date of
July 1, 2017.
Upon completion of the course, participants should be able to:
- Recognize how IVS provides a common basis for evaluating whether or not a valuer is doing
credible work in a given assignment.
- Recognize that IVS is a reference source for those outside the valuation profession and
especially those who have little knowledge of valuation practice.
