IVSC is pleased to announce plans to establish a new regional office in #Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with the kind support of Saudi Authority for Accredited Valuers (TAQEEM). This significant step underscores the growing influence of International Valuation Standards (IVS) across the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region and highlights the continued evolution of the valuation profession. Once fully operational, the Riyadh office will serve as a central hub for coordinating efforts to advance IVS across the region, working closely with national valuation authorities, standard-setters, and a broad range of stakeholders within the valuation ecosystem. The establishment of this office marks a critical milestone in the IVSC's mission to enhance transparency, consistency, and professionalism in valuations worldwide. As a not-for-profit organisation, the IVSC relies on the invaluable support of sponsors such as #Taqeem. Their commitment is instrumental in enabling the IVSC to expand its presence and influence globally. This will be IVSC's second regional office following the opening of its Singapore office in 2022. Recruitment will soon begin for a Director to oversee the final stages of the office’s establishment and to lead IVSC’s efforts in Saudi Arabia and beyond. Further updates will be shared in the coming weeks. https://lnkd.in/eE8Wz3XS
