Founded in 1981, IVSC is an independent, not-for-profit private-sector standard-setting body with operational headquarters in London, UK, dedicated to safeguarding public interest and establishing a unified, credible global valuation framework. As IVSC’s official global information hub, the website hosts the full authoritative texts of International Valuation Standards (IVS), technical guidance, professional codes and ethical requirements, covering valuation rules for real estate, businesses, financial instruments, tangible movable assets and all other asset classes.
The site runs a formal public consultation system, releasing discussion papers and exposure drafts for global valuers, regulators and accounting bodies to submit comments, with full records of the entire standard revision process available. It updates news from over 170 member organisations worldwide, alongside research reports, online training materials and international conference information, and publishes joint initiatives developed in partnership with the IFRS Foundation, national financial regulators and valuation professional bodies.
Tailored resources are provided for valuers, corporations, investors and supervisors, including multilingual translations of standards, practical case studies and FAQ libraries. It unifies cross-border valuation practices, eliminates information disparities in cross-border asset appraisal, and delivers globally recognised valuation benchmarks for financial reporting, secured lending, M&A transactions and regulatory compliance, serving as the core authoritative portal for standard inquiry and industry communication in the global valuation sector.
