The Australian Association of Financial Valuers is an initiative of the International Association of Valuers. On request from valuers operating in the field of
financial valuation in Australia, the IAV agreed to create a regional sub-association. The demand for a separate membership group was fuelled by the growing
expertise required to address both International Valuation Standards as well as local Australian Accounting Standards.
Our Vision
To elevate the standing of financial valuers within all sectors of the Australian community
The AAFV is a vehicle to promote the valuation expertise of members who operate or wish to operate, in the field of finance. That expertise may lie in the
valuation of intangibles, fixed assets, plant and equipment, financial instruments, inventories, risk, probability, and so on.
HOW WE MAKE IT HAPPEN
Encourage the advancement of valuation through excellence, education and research.
- Excellence - Adhere to standards and ethics
- Education - Encourage academic progression
- Research - Deliver industry insight, market data and innovation in valuation practice
- Exposure - Encourage and support members to contribute to business and public interest forums and promote valuation.
It is recognised not all valuers have valuation as their core primary profession. Quite the opposite, many financial valuers are accountants, economists, finance
professionals, risk managers, claims adjusters and actuaries, to name a few. It is for the benefit of these professionals as well as traditional valuers, that this
association exists.
WHO IS A VALUER
International Valuation Standards define a valuer as an individual, group of individuals or
individual within an entity, regardless of whether employed (internal) or engaged
(contracted/external), possessing the necessary qualifications, ability and experience to
execute a valuation in an objective, unbiased, ethical and competent manner
The AAFV is a secondary association. Your primary professional membership maybe with any group that was set up to accredit your core profession (i.e. CPA
Australia). To be a member of the AAFV, you must possess and maintain membership of your primary core body (i.e. The Economic Society of Australia).
MEMBERSHIP IN THE AAFV IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR YOUR CORE PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIP
