Numerous IFRS standards, formulated by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), necessitate the measurement of fair value (IFRS 13) for certain items such as Plant, Property, and Equipment (PP&E) and Investment Properties (IAS 40).

Accurate valuation is imperative for financial reporting and auditing purposes. To uphold transparency and quality assurance, companies are required to present audited financial statements, which involve verifying the value of assets. It is the management’s responsibility to ensure that the accounts reflect a reliable and accurate valuation of assets that is materially correct.

Regularly updating and maintaining precise asset value records through valuations on the company balance sheet offers several advantages, including:

Presenting the actual financial standing of the business
Accurately portraying the profitability and financial position of the business
Enhancing business goodwill
Providing assurance to shareholders and attracting investors

Engaging an independent professional valuer comes with various benefits, such as:

Declaration of correct fair values
Adherence to accounting standards (IFRS)
Satisfying auditors and avoiding qualified opinions
