Working Group 9.3 - Diagnostic Tools and Prescriptive Practices for The Valuation Profession

Policy Issues

  • The valuation profession in many countries is still rather weak and the profession has not always benefited from good education in valuation technology and theory. Consistent and logical guidelines are poor or even missing in some markets. There are no current tool sets to determine prescriptive practices for these poorly functioning valuation systems. What is needed is a systemized way to evaluate the status of a country's valuation profession and then recommendations to bring the profession up to international standards, relative to their individual needs. This is particularly important in developing economies.

Specific Projects

  • Identify the legal structures and practices in the valuation profession in different countries / markets.
  • Create a tool for diagnostic analyses of the valuation profession in these diverse markets.
  • Create a system for recommendation to bring the profession up to the international standards, relative to the needs of the individual country / market.
  • Give FIG recommendations for Guidelines, which can then be a starting point to assess an individual country / market’s needs for record keeping, GIS, and mapping solutions.

Workshops

  • A seminar to discuss and develop the tool and exchange of experience between countries and regions. Interaction between different actors will be strongly encouraged, both during the preparations and by the design of the seminar itself, so that the tools designed will be adequate to assess most markets. I addition the subject and evolving tool set will be assessed in each annual meeting.
