Welcome to IVSC Asia
Building trust in valuation across the region
The IVSC's first base outside Europe, established in Singapore to advance International Valuation Standards and the valuation profession throughout Asia.
A regional home for global valuation standards
In July 2022 the IVSC opened its Singapore office, its first base outside Europe, underlining Asia's growing prominence in the valuation profession worldwide. The office brings the work of the global standard-setter closer to the region's valuers, regulators and businesses.
From Singapore, IVSC Asia provides technical expertise to refine International Valuation Standards (IVS), fosters collaboration with financial regulators and professional organisations across the region, and convenes the conversations that build confidence in valuation.
Asia is the fastest-growing region in the world
As capital, trade and investment deepen across ASEAN, the Gulf and the wider RCEP bloc, consistent and trusted valuation has never mattered more.

The IVSC Asia launch
Officially launched on 6 July 2022 at Revenue House by Ms Indranee Rajah, Minister in the Prime Minister's Office and Second Minister for Finance and National Development, before some 100 senior valuation, business and finance leaders.
The International Valuation Standards Council chose Singapore as its first base outside Europe — a decision that underlined Asia's growing weight in the global valuation profession and Singapore's standing as a hub for business, intangible-asset and real-estate valuation. Located at Revenue House, the office was opened as part of the Singapore IP Strategy 2030.
Opening the office, Minister Indranee Rajah described it as "a testament to the strong partnership forged between Singapore and IVSC over the years" and "a new milestone in Singapore's growth as an Intangible Assets hub." Second Minister for Law Edwin Tong SC and IVSC Vice Chair Mrs Lim Hwee Hua — Singapore's former Second Minister for Finance — also spoke to the office's role in raising valuation standards across the region.
The launch drew strong public- and private-sector backing — from the Singapore Accountancy Commission, the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore and the Economic Development Board, alongside DBS, UOB, OCBC, Sea, Deloitte, EY, KPMG and PwC. It builds on a 2016 APEC Finance Ministers' mandate for IVSC to deepen regional cooperation through the use of IVS, and anchors the body's standard-setting input, thought leadership and professional qualifications — such as the Chartered Valuer and Appraiser (CVA) programme — across Asia.
