New International Valuation Standards Explained and Their Real Impact Discussed

New International Valuation Standards are expected to become effective from 2024. Join us as we discuss the newly proposed standards and their potential impact on financial markets with the IVSC (International Valuation Standards Council).

Ensuring relevant and reliable valuation of financial instruments has long been an area of significant focus for investors, regulators and others. Financial instruments require a valuation approach which is internationally consistent and carried out to a high standard. S&P Global’s Pricing and Valuation services have long recognised the need for global best practice standards in our aim to increase pricing transparency and provide market participants with the tools to stay ahead with compliance.

The IVSC is responsible for setting the International Valuation Standards (IVS) which establish clear, internationally agreed standards for the valuation of all assets and liabilities, including financial instruments (IVS 500). Those working with financial instruments should prepare for substantial updates to the IVS 500 standards, which are due for publication in January 2024. These revisions will notably increase the standards' pertinence to all stakeholders in this asset class.

While the IVSC continues its three-month consultation on the standards, this webinar seeks to provide insights and help you anticipate and comply with future requirements.
