The BDO network is a sponsor of the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC), an independent, non‑profit international standard‑setting organisation that develops the International Valuation Standards (IVS) in the interests of transparency, consistency, and trust in valuation across global markets. For our clients, this means working with a team that is aligned with leading international approaches to the valuation of property rights and applies practices that enhance the robustness of conclusions, the transparency of valuation reports, and confidence in the results—for financing, collateral purposes, financial reporting, investment decision‑making, and cross‑border transactions.
